Asbestos Awareness

Tuesday 27th May 2025

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has recently published advice to raise awareness for the impact of exposure to Asbestos.

Asbestos can be found in any building built or refurbished before the year 2000 and it is estimated 5000 people a year die from past exposure to asbestos. To find out more information, take a look at the HSE campaigns:

Asbestos and You - for tradespeople to know what to watch for, and what to do should you come across asbestos
Asbestos - Your Duty - for those responsible for maintenance and repair of non-domestic buildings

We also offer online E-learning training for asbestos awareness:
