WORKERS were exposed to asbestos at a North-East school - because they were not given a report warning of the danger.

The incident, at Wallsend Jubilee First School, Mullen Road, Wallsend, led to workers cutting through asbestos covered pipes in the roof of the building.

A North Tyneside Council report later blamed the incident on the "poor quality" of a health and safety plan which did not mention hazards specific to the project.

The incident took place at the 365-pupil school during term time in 2002.
