The Health and Safety Executive has launched a web app designed to help safeguard tradespeople against the risk of asbestos.
Asbestos is still present in millions of homes and buildings. When disturbed or damaged, dangerous fibres are released into the air. If inhaled, asbestos can prove lethal.
The free web app, which stands centre stage of the Beware Asbestos campaign, works on
- Smartphones
- Tablets
- Computers
The simple, practical advice for those working with asbestos complements existing HSE guidance.
The Beware Asbestos campaign, which was launched on 9th October, will run until March 2015.
