HSE "The Hidden Killer" Asbestos Campaign

2 October 2008

During October and November 2008 the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is running a national campaign to target tradesmen who are still at risk from exposure to asbestos.

The primary aim of the campaign is to raise awareness amongst tradesmen that they are more at risk than they think from asbestos. The campaign also aims to encourage tradesmen to find out more about asbestos and the precautions they should be taking.
