    Who is most at risk from mesothelioma in Kent and Medway?

    Those most at risk of developing mesothelioma include former workers in the shipbuilding industry up to the mid-1970s, for example at the Royal Naval dockyard in Chatham. Ships were heavily loaded with asbestos insulation and asbestos parts for fireproofing. In addition, workers at the heavily asbestos lagged BP oil refinery at Isle of Grain, Kent power stations including Kingsnorth and Dartford/Littlebrook, the British Uralite asbestos factory in Higham and pipefitters and laggers employed by the asbestos lagging firm Kitsons from Barking, Essex. Many were also exposed to asbestos from the heavily lagged paper mills, like Reeds’ papermill, Aylesford and the UK paper mills at Sittingbourne and Kemsley.

    Carpenters, plumbers/gas fitters, electricians and other building trades are also at higher risk of developing mesothelioma because of the widespread use of asbestos insulating and fireproofing well into the 1980s. Regionally the incidence of mesothelioma is particularly high in areas of previous shipbuilding. In the South East the highest incidences of mesothelioma are in Medway, Barking and Dagenham, Gosport, Portsmouth, Southampton, Eastleigh and Havant.
