Asbestos is the single greatest cause of work-related deaths in the UK. This site provides health and safety advice and guidance so that those who may be exposed to asbestos at work know what to do to protect themselves and others.
HSE and asbestos training providers are working together to promote and provide free asbestos awareness training this Autumn.
Understand your responsibilities and how to protect yourself and others.
The consequences of not being ‘asbestos aware’ can devastate the lives of tradesmen and their families. HSE estimates that, on average, 20 tradesmen die from asbestos-related diseases each week. Don’t be one of them.
