When am I at risk?
You are mostly at risk when:
You are working on an unfamiliar site
The building you are working on was built before the year 2000
Asbestos-containing materials were not identified before the job was started
Asbestos-containing materials were identified but this information was not passed on by the people in charge to the people doing the work
You don?t know how to recognise and work safely with asbestos
You know how to work safely with asbestos but you choose to put yourself at risk by not following proper precautions, perhaps to save time or because no one else is following proper procedures
