Building trades asbestos campaign supported by Ian Wright
Ian Wright the plasterer turned footballer and TV personality has produced a short video to raise awareness amoung building trades of the dangers of working with asbestos in existing buildings. The video presents the essential message in a manner that should strike a chord with younger building refurbishment workers.
Comment: The circumstances that can give rise to significant exposure to asbestos among refurb workers are illustrated in the attached case study. The three pictures show what happened during refurbishment of a large town centre retail unit in 2006 when communications failed and workmen removed suspended ceiling tiles containing amosite asbestos.
