Asbestos campaign - Hidden killer

What are we doing?

HSE is working with key stakeholders (Trades Unions, Trade Associations, Suppliers) to raise awareness amongst tradesmen that they are at risk from exposure to asbestos. During February and March 2008 a campaign will be rolled out to target building maintenance and repair workers (e.g. electricians, plumbers and carpenters and joiners) using the theme 'You are more at risk than you think!' that features both national and regional activity. National coverage will involve stakeholder driven activity as well as advertising and articles in the Trade Press. Regional activity will focus on the North West of England where direct mail, radio, press and PR will be used to assess the most effective media channels to reach this target audience.
