London Underground users should know about toxic dust risk, whistleblower says

The News

A former London Underground cleaner, Micky Steeds, who was dismissed after raising concerns about asbestos and toxic dust, has stated that he wants passengers to be aware of the potential hazards. Steeds, a former professional boxer from Essex, began working for the network in 2018, cleaning dust from vents and shafts. A tribunal vindicated his health concerns, and Steeds now advocates for public awareness of the risks.
