Asbestos was banned in the UK in 1999 but it didn’t disappear. Asbestos remains in buildings across a wide range of industries.

To protect workers and visitors there is a legal duty to manage the risk of asbestos in buildings.

[HSE Guernsey @HSEGuernsey]

We are supporting Asbestos – Your Duty, a new campaign launched by @H_S_E  to raise awareness of the dangers of asbestos and the legal duty to manage asbestos in buildings.

If there is an urgent scaffold to deal with storm damage, scaffolders should phone/email the HSE & then put the permit application in after the area has been made safe.

Remember that safety is the top priority, delay work if unsure.

Construction work, by its very nature, involves lifting, carrying and handling activities that can cause significant, often long-term pain if risks are not managed effectively. We have free resources, including this poster, available here: https://t.co/8cw1qnLqez #Health #MSDS

It’s essential to stay aware of vital gas safety advice as we go into the winter months. Look for signs of unsafe gas appliances, such as a lazy yellow flame, boiler errors, and uncommon noises. Find out more at https://t.co/46vnfNEmSZ. #GSW23 #GasSafetyWeek
