There was no exposure to asbestos during these years. He emigrated to Australia in February I960, For three months he worked in Perth as a photo engraver and then went to Hlttenoom mine. { For the first three months he worked in the mill bagging asbestos. When he was doing this job the asbestos was delivered from a chute on to a table in front of him and he had to manually plate the fluffy fibre into a bag and beat it down until the bag contained 100 lb. of asbestos. This occupation was extremely dustyr He was provided with a mask, this continually became blocked and xe could not breath. He had to take it off. After three months le transferred to the mine.

He then worked at the ore face is a machine miner and although this was very dusty, it was not is dusty as the bagging or working on the scraper. Some ventilation was provided and they left the mine before the charges [went off and caused so much dust. No masks were orovided when he worked in the mine as a machine miner or on the scraper.
