The Rise and Fall of the Chrysotile InstituteByLaurie Kazan - Allen

The Chrysotile Institute (CI), formerly known as the Asbestos Institute, surrendered its charter to the Ministry of Industry on April 5, 2012.1 This took place 5 days after its suite of o�ces at 1200 McGill College in downtown Montreal had been vacated. According to the Assistant Building Manager, the CI had occupied suite 1640 for at least 15 years. When the lease ran out, the o�ce was shut and three people were put out of work. They left no forwarding address or phone number; calls made to the phone number on their website and emails sent to the CI website go unanswered. The CI's President Clement Godbout has stated that the Institute could re-open if Canadian asbestos mines, none of which is currently operational, resume production.2 Though this seems highly unlikely it is not impossible given the strong political and public support for asbestos mining expressed by the governments in Ottawa and Quebec.For nearly 30 years, the Chrysotile Institute and its predecessor coordinated global e�orts to promote and sell chrysotile asbestos, a substance known to cause cancer and other fatal diseases. The propaganda initiatives mounted by the CI, which was endowed with millions of taxpayers' dollars, were pivotal in creating commercial markets for asbestos throughout the developing world. Long after industrialized countries had banned asbestos, consumption was increased in many Asian countries, largely as a result of the CI's e�orts. Institute personnel curried favour with politicians and decision makers through their dispensation of huge sums of money. CI largesse enabled twelve national asbestos associations to be set up to broadcast the pro-asbestos message more e�ectively. It is not coincidental that asbestos use continues in India, Thailand, Brazil, Colombia and Mexico, countries where these organizations exist. The CI's mothballed website boasts that the Institute has participated in “activities intended to promote the controlled use of chrysotile (asbestos)” in more than 60 countries on �ve continents.3Where critics dared to attack the industry line, CI personnel used a variety of methods to silence them. In April, 2001, Denis Hamel, the Director of the Asbestos Institute, complained to the Brazilian Minister of Labor Francisco Dornelles about Senior Labor Inspector Fernanda Giannasi:“who is Coordinator of the Citizens' Virtual Network for an Asbestos Ban in Latin America, [and is] using her position in your ministry to promote her views, which are contrary to the stated policy of your country… We wonder if this person is o�cially mandated by your Ministry as a spokesperson on asbestos related matters, taking a position contrary to the o�cial Brazilian policy… we respectfully request that your ministry take the necessary measures so that Mrs. Giannasi no longer abuses her professional responsibilities to promote her personal activities. “4There is little doubt about Hamel's motivation in writing this letter. Fortunately for Brazil's workers, the e�ort to get this much respected Labor Inspector dismissed did not succeed.The AI/CI was, it seemed, very fond of letter writing. Also in 2001, AI Director Clement Godbout, reacting to proposals by the Government of Chile to ban asbestos, sent a letter to Pierre Pettigrew, Canada's International Trade Minister, in which he “launched a general attack against the Chilean government and a personal attack on Chilean Health Minister Michelle Bachelet. The letter accused Chile of having a 'cavalier' attitude toward Canadian o�cials and urged Pettigrew not to tolerate it.” It is highly ironic to note that while Michelle Bachelet was a Minister at the time the

letter was written, she later became President (See: Canada How Could You?).The AI's failures to oust Giannasi and/or reverse the asbestos ban in Chile did not deter its successor organization from attempting to interfere with asbestos debates at home and abroad. In 2005, the CI “complained to the Canadian television ombudsman about a broadcast report on asbestos. The complaint was rejected, with the ombudsman �nding that the facts mentioned in the report were not disputed.” In 2007, the CI, through its European lawyer Pascal Devaud, wrote to the French Asbestos Victims Group (ANDEVA), threatening legal action over statements on the ANDEVA website which constituted, so the CI alleged: “public criminal libel of a private individual.” ANDEVA refused to comply with the CI's demands, categorizing this legal action as an “attempt at intimidation.” As a result ANDEVA's President Francois Desriaux and Marc Hindry, the author of the “o�ending article,” faced charges of defamation in a criminal court in Paris. CI President Clement Godbout told a Canadian journalist that he was not trying to intimidate the ban asbestos activists: “They have a right to disagree with our positions. But they do not have the right to use defamatory words.” In March 2009, the case �nally collapsed when the President of the 17th Criminal Court in Paris received a letter from the Institute's lawyer notifying the authorities of his client's withdrawal from the case. Commenting on the asbestos lobbyists' U-turn, Laurent Vogel from the European Trade Union Institute said: “The Chrysotile Institute �nally realised that the trial could prove that it (the CI) is just a tool of disinformation funded by the Canadian government which exists solely for one purpose: to promote the asbestos trade.”In political and public forums, CI spokesmen – aided and abetted by the Canadian authorities – have shouted their support for the “controlled use of asbestos.” They have �ooded intentional agencies such as the ILO and WHO with correspondence and supposed evidence “substantiating” claims that asbestos is safe. The fact that they were �ghting a losing battle did not deter them; in the face of the overwhelming support for an asbestos ban, they shouted even louder. CI representatives went mob-handed to meetings of the Rotterdam Convention, IARC and other international conventions to forestall developments that could impact on asbestos markets. Canadian MP Pat Martin, a long-time critic of the asbestos industry, believes that the CI's closure marks the “death knell of asbestos mining in Canada.”5 Human rights activist and ban asbestos campaigner Kathleen Ru� says: “Around the world there will be a cheer from all those working to protect people from asbestos harm, when the Chrysotile Institute �nally closes its doors.” The doors at suite 1640 are now closed. Whether other doors open up for the CI is anybody's guess. I don't believe they will but in the meantime there is no doubt that Russian, Brazilian and other asbestos lobbyists are waiting to pick up where the Canadians left o�.May 1, 2012 IBAS (International Ban Asbestos Secetariat)http://ibasecretariat.org/lka-rise-and-fall-of-chrysotile-institute.php

ADAO Presents with International Delegates atPeople’s Summit Workshop in Brazil

ADAO was given a great opportunity to present at a satellite workshop during the United Nation’s Rio+ 20 Conference on Sustainable Development in Brazil. An impressive group of international delegates attended the People’s Summit Workshop: “The Future We Want is Free of Asbestos!”, which took place today, June 15th, in Rio de Janeiro. ADAO was proud to present along with Hermano Castro, Alexandra Caterbow, Fernanda Giannasi, Kaisha Atakhanova, Vladimir Korotenko, Laurie Kazan Allen and others.This event has already expanded our international working relationships. The conference gives us the opportunity to confer with the international governmental community, and hopefully to raise awareness of asbestos-disease prevention, education, and community building. We seek to remind the international community that sustainable development includes a healthy, asbestos-free, environment and workplace.Our visit to Brazil will allow us to more e�ectively advocate both nationally and internationally for an asbestos ban with the new de�nitive information we have gathered regarding economic viability and sustainability.

Misleading Advertising14/06/201261% of the complaints the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) received in 2011 were about misleading advertising. That equates to about 80% of the ads it looked in to. Making sure you don’t mislead people might seem straightforward, but it is a broad area that can require careful navigation by marketers in all sectors. So here we give a quick guide on how to avoid the most common pitfalls. The CodesThe rules are broadly the same for both non-broadcast and broadcast advertising, but for simplicity, here we will quote the UK Code of Non-broadcast Advertising.There are various elements to the Misleading advertising sections in the Advertising Codes, but the overarching principle is captured in Rule 3.1 which says “marketing communications must not materially mislead or be likely to do so”.The background to that section of the Code explains that the ASA

will take into account the overall impression created by an ad, as well as speci�c claims. The ASA adjudicates on the basis of the likely e�ect of the ad on consumers, not the marketer’s intentions. So the ASA can �nd against an advertiser even if it wasn’t their intention to mislead. Source ASA http://www.cap.org.uk/Media-Centre/2012/Misleading-Advertising.aspx

The TUC has called for urgent action from the government to deal with the huge death toll from work-related cancer as research is published today (Wednesday) in the British Journal of Cancer Supplement into the incidence of cancers caused by work.

TUC General Secretary Brendan Barber said: 'The researchers have found that around 13,600 new cancer cases every year are caused by risk factors related to work. At the same time the research acknowledges that this is likely to be a conservative number and the real toll could be even higher.'Of these thousands of workers, over 8,000 will be killed by the cancer they contract. This is a huge number, made all the more tragic by the knowledge that these deaths are preventable.

'If more action had been taken in the past to protect workers from known carcinogens such as asbestos, silica, diesel and mineral oils then many of the workers who will die this year from work-related cancers could have been saved.'We must not let this terrible legacy continue. We should be making sure that carcinogens are removed from the workplace so that those working today will not develop cancers 20 or 30 years from now.

'No-one who reads this research can doubt that there is an urgent need for stronger safety regulation in the workplace, and for greater enforcement action against employers who take risks with their employees' health.

'Unfortunately what we have seen from the government has been a reduction in both regulation and enforcement. It is high time ministers stopped pursuing an ideological war against health and safety and instead started protecting those whose lives are being put at risk through no fault of their own.'

NOTES TO EDITORS:- The study was published in the British Journal of Cancer Supplement and was funded by the Health and Safety Executive. It found that every year around 8,000 cancer deaths in Britain each year are linked to occupations which equates to around �ve per cent of all cancer deaths in Britain.- Researchers used a list of work-related cancer causing substances identi�ed by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) to calculate the impact of work on cancer cases and deaths and discovered around 13,600 new cancer cases are caused by risk factors related to work each year.- After asbestos, the main work-related risk factors were night shift-work - linked to around 1,960 female breast cancer cases, mineral oil from metal and printing industries - linked to around 1730 cases of bladder, lung and non-melanoma skin cancers, sun exposure - linked to around 1540 skin cancer cases, silica exposure - linked to 910 cancer cases and diesel engine exhaust - linked to 800 cases.- All TUC press releases can be found at www.tuc.org.uk- Follow the TUC on Twitter: @tucnewsSource TUC 19/06/2012 http://www.tuc.org.uk/workplace/tuc-21130-f0.cfm
