Brain Cancer Concerns At Former Staveley Chemical Plant


Tuesday 12th January 2016



Widows of four brain cancer victims have joined together and contacted Trade Union Safety Team, (TRUST) to help them find answers to their late husband's deaths.

Widows of four brain cancer victims have joined together and contacted Trade Union Safety Team, (TRUST) to help them find answers to their late husband's deaths.Joanne Gordon, heading TRUST's investigation is urging next-of-kin of former Staveley Chemicals workers to contact TRUST if they have a relative that died from brain cancer.

Brain cancer victim Martyn Collis worked at Staveley Chemicals Ltd for forty years. He, along with three other former workers from this site have died in recent years from Glioma, a rare brain cancer.

TRUST's John Knight said, "Having done some initial research, we have found that in the normal population, 8 in every 100,000 people would be expected to die from this rare condition, here we have at least four in a localised vicinity. This together with the fact that the men died within a few years of each other makes it very unusual."

He went on, "As part of our in-depth research, we will also look into possible causes of this rare brain cancer, including any exposure to hazardous substances such as known carcinogens like benzene and mercury."

TRUST Co-ordinator, Joanne Gordon added, "We will do our level best to get to the bottom of what is a very concerning case."

If you consider someone in your family has been similarly affected, please contact Joanne Gordon in complete confidence on (01246) 380416.
