Why asbestos awareness matters
Asbestos was banned in 1999, but it remains in many older UK buildings. When disturbed, it releases invisible fibres that can cause life-threatening illnesses such as mesothelioma, asbestosis and lung cancer.
By training your team, you protect their health, meet legal requirements and reduce the risk of costly delays or penalties.
