Know the legal duties when dealing with asbestos
Did you know that despite being banned from use in the construction industry since 1999, asbestos is the biggest cause of work-related deaths in Great Britain and amongst construction workers?
Asbestos can still be found in older building such as schools, hospitals, museums, offices, and factories. It's crucial to understand that while intact asbestos poses minimal risk, however disturbing it during construction or demolition projects can release dangerous fibres into the air, endangering the health of workers and bystanders.
Check out our new article where we share some useful resources from the HSE website to raise awareness of the importance of managing asbestos safely.
