Message: [QUOTE="lynx000, post: 3434365, member: 2065"] The risk inherent in playing rugby league of injury and long term effects of injury have been relatively well known for some time. Despite that, the players have still made the decision to play. Even so, I agree that the duty of care owed by the league would still extend to putting in place whatever mechansisms were available to minimise the risks involved with playing. The James Hardie workers signed up to work in their respective roles not knowing or comprehending the risks to their health of exposure to asbestos. There is some evidence that companies like James Hardie had some knowledge of those risks many years ago but did not provide appropriate warning to their workers or provide PPE to address the risks. It was not really until the early 1980's that real steps were taken along those lines including no longer using materials containing asbestos. [/QUOTE]
