HSE Asbestos Website Pages Launched

Click the pic!As previously reported by Unionsafety, the HSE has now launched its new website as part of its Asbestos - The Hidden Killer campaign.

Aimed at all those in the building trade, including small traders and those who as part of their work need to drill into walls, skirtings, etc. the website introduction gives these stark facts:

"Every week 20 tradesmen die from asbestos-related disease. If you carry out work on a building that was built or refurbished before the year 2000, you could have been exposed to asbestos, without even knowing it.

Asbestos is a hidden killer. So now’s the time to get clued up on the facts, so that you, your workmates, your friends and family are protected."

Giving plenty of advise and information about Asbestos, where it can be found and how to deal with it when found, it also contains a "Myth Buster" section addressing commonly held incorrect opinion which leads to complacency and danger.
