 Last month we launched our Asbestos Your Duty campaign. The campaign is raising awareness of the health risks of asbestos exposure and the duty to manage asbestos in buildings, and now we want your help. We have developed a new range of free resources to support those with the legal duty. Please share these with your colleagues and networks to raise awareness of this important issue. Our research and insight revealed that many businesses are unaware if they are the dutyholder, thats why we created an online quiz to help people identify if they have a legal duty to manage asbestos.
