Although these trends offer us some reason to be hopeful, I am sure that we can all agree that we need to do whatever we can to prevent future asbestos exposures and the risk of developing these dreadful diseases. Of course, the HSE continues its work to enable employers to take action to prevent and reduce the most common causes of work-related ill health. Following the asbestos awareness campaigns of previous decades, the HSE continues to make a wide range of information freely available through its website. In January 2024, the HSE launched a “duty to manage” communications campaign, called “Asbestos—Your Duty”, to raise awareness and understanding of the legal duty to share information on asbestos with those who are liable to disturb it.
