Asbestos - The hidden killer

Every week up to 20 tradesmen die from asbestos-related disease. If you carry out work on a building that was built or refurbished before the year 2000, you could have been exposed to asbestos, without even knowing it.

Visit the HSE's website for further information - http://www.hse.gov.uk/asbestos/hiddenkiller/index.htm

See the BBC's view - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7682295.stm

Exposure to the material remains the biggest single cause of work-related deaths, likely to peak at around 5,000 per year in the next five years, the HSE says.
