Health, Safety & Quality Consultancy
October saw the launch of a new HSE campaign that aims to help tradespeople protect themselves from asbestos and will run until March 2015. Its aim is to encourage safe working practices among those workers most at risk of asbestos i.e. tradespeople working on small sites and projects in the construction and maintenance industries.
Research has shown that these workers recognise that asbestos is dangerous but often do not realise when a job might expose them to asbestos and do not know what to do to protect themselves from danger. For more information on asbestos visit http://www.hse.gov.uk/asbestos/index.htm
