11 September 2006 - HSE Say Don't Take The
Gamble With Asbestos
Navigation
The Health and Safety Executive's (HSE's) "Don't Take The Gamble" Campaign is
aimed at both employers and employees working within the asbestos industry, such
as following:
- Workers who perhaps carry out work on asbestos falling outside the
licensing regime.
- A reminder to dutyholders and workers of the specific asbestos work which
does require a licence.
- Targeting dutyholders within the small and medium enterprise range and
facilities management.
The "Don't Take The Gamble" Campaign highlights the risks involved in working
with asbestos and takes place through the months of September and October 2006.
