Asbestos Kills: Protect Yourself! 05-02-2008
Are you an electrician, plumber, heating and ventilation engineer, joiner or work in a similar trade? Your future could be at risk from asbestos. 1000 people who worked in these trades die from cancer every year as a result of breathing asbestos fibres. There is still a lot of asbestos in buildings and any building built or refurbished before 2000 is still likely to contain asbestos. You must protect yourself! Don't work if you are unsure whether asbestos is present. Tell your boss or the customer, who should be able to tell you whether it is present or not. Arm yourself by seeking advice from the HSE who can provide you with asbestos information packs so that you know how to take precautions to protect your health. You can also log on to www.hsebooks.co.uk or telephone 01787 881165 and request "Asbestos Essentials" ISBN 978 0 7176 6263 0 Cost is £12.95 This book is designed to be taken on site and contains excellent information.
