HSE is highlighting our asbestos campaigns ahead of Global Asbestos Awareness Week (1 to 7 April).
Asbestos remains in millions of homes and buildings today and it can become dangerous when disturbed or damaged. We are currently running 2 asbestos campaigns:
- Asbestos and You
- Asbestos – Your Duty
Asbestos and You
Our Asbestos and You campaign urges tradespeople to stay aware of hidden asbestos and protect themselves and others from exposure to asbestos fibres during their work.
Resources include:
- our quick guide for trades (.pdf)
- Asbestos essentials task sheets
- campaign assets to share on your channel
Asbestos – Your Duty
This campaign raises awareness of the legal duty to manage asbestos in buildings and aims to
reach those responsible for maintenance and repair of non-domestic buildings built before the year 2000.
Free resources are available to support those with the legal duty to manage asbestos:
