HSE’s ‘Asbestos and You’ Campaign Calls on Tradespeople to Protect Themselves from Hidden Hazards

Every day, on any job, you could be unknowingly exposed to deadly asbestos fibres. Unlike dust, asbestos fibres are invisible—you can’t see them, smell them, or feel them in the air or on your clothing.

Asbestos may be present in any building constructed or renovated before 2000, particularly those built during the 1950s, 60s, and 70s. If you’re working on an older property, there’s a real possibility that asbestos is already around you.

Every year, 5,000 people die due to past asbestos exposure. Our mission is to help tradespeople recognise and avoid this hidden threat. Below, you’ll find essential guides, tips, and resources to keep yourself informed and protected from asbestos exposure.

The Asbestos and You campaign from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) urges tradespeople to stay vigilant for hidden asbestos and to take steps to protect themselves and others during their work.
