Its worse than that a Test Station legally does not have to have an extractor at all from the testing scheme rules. Incidentally, I heard some years back that when VI/VOSA testing staff were diagnosed with cancer related problems that the government stopped all HGV smoke testing, not sure if this is the case today, but their insurance took its tole at the time.  

Same here. Having worked for 15 years in an HGV garage, if I were to develop cancer related to diesel fumes in the next few years, who would the claim be against? My present employer at the time? The HGV garage no longer exists, so it wouldn't be them. The idea is popular but unworkable, unless you have worked at the same place for life.

and what about all that talk about asbestos poison we used to here about? All that talk soon died off. All those brake linings and the dust we used to blow out with the shop air line when we not supposed to, and the wire brush cleaning the pads carriers etc and tasting the dust trying not to breath it in. While I admit none of it is good for anyone's health, but we have had direct front-line contact with this for a working lifetime, not like other members of the public who walk the streets and become ill and then health doctors etc say they have cancer becomes of exhaust fumes?? Much speculation going on me thinks!   

Or should we point the finger at the food chain and start looking at the preservatives etc that they put in it, which seriously is not good for your health, but they don't talk about that!

bl--dy hell this is cheerfull,"no one gets out of here alive" as jim Morrison once said,i'd say if none of us have had a bad illness by 50,then we're conditioned to it and don't get me started on get out clauses for insurance /workers rights etc,as for new diesels why test 'em,naf all comes out!

My grandma lived in Armley in Leeds as a kid . She used to tell us about how they lived next to an asbestos factory and they used to play in the factory yard kicking the dust around and pretending it was snow .

She died of cancer in her nineties . I very much doubt that asbestos was the cause .
