Are you and your workers aware of the dangers of Asbestos?
Asbestos Kills...
Asbestos is a known human carcinogen and the single greatest cause of work-related deaths in the UK.
As long as asbestos is in good condition and is not disturbed or damaged there is negligible risk. However, if it is disturbed or damaged, it can become a danger to health, because asbestos fibres are released into the air and people may breathe them in.
​
Its all about education, the Islands legislation, requires employers to make sure that anyone liable to disturb asbestos during their work, or who supervises such employees, receives the correct level of information, instruction and training to enable them to carry out their work safely and competently and without risk to themselves or others.
