In the fourth phase of its No Time to Lose occupational cancer campaign, IOSH is focusing on the deadliest carcinogen of them all, asbestos.
Asbestos fibres, banned in the UK since 1999, can be found in many products including roofing, spray coatings, lagging, insulating boards, ropes, yarns and cloth. They are invisible to the naked eye but can cause fatal cancers like mesothelioma. Workplace exposures are responsible for at least 5,000 deaths in Britain every year.
