In the modern world there are many dangers about us, but we have strategies and codes to protect us; the Highway Code for example prevents thousands of road accidents, warning signs where high-voltage electricity is present - all are perfect examples of managing potentially fatal situations and asbestos is no different.

We live with traffic, electricity and asbestos all about us. Asbestos that is in good condition should be left in situ. Seriously, damaged asbestos that can not be dealt with by any other means, must be removed by licensed contractors. As long as asbestos sites are regularly checked the threat to life will reduce over the coming years. But it is your responsibility if you manage or occupy non-domestic premises to keep your asbestos situation under control. The Asbestos Group will help you to comply with the new law and keep your workplace safe.

Warning signs should be used, just as in other areas of construction

With care asbestos is safe, just as on the road
