Asbestos and construction – new resources available

The Health and Safety Executive’s (HSE) “Asbestos and You” campaign urges tradespeople working in construction to be aware of disturbing asbestos.

Two new free resources have been launched for workers to test and enhance their knowledge about asbestos and the risks associated with it.

Take a quick Asbestos and You quiz to test your knowledge on the risks of asbestos and how to protect yourself and others from exposure to asbestos fibres.
Watch the webinar Lurking in the shadows – the truth about asbestos hosted by the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health to get an understanding of the campaign and hear experts discuss the risks continued to be associated with asbestos, particularly with younger workers.
