The Health and Safety Executive's (HSE's) "Don't Take The Gamble" Campaign is aimed at both employers and employees working within the asbestos industry, such as following:
- Workers who perhaps carry out work on asbestos falling outside the licensing regime.
- A reminder to dutyholders and workers of the specific asbestos work which does require a licence.
- Targeting dutyholders within the small and medium enterprise range and facilities management.
The "Don't Take The Gamble" Campaign highlights the risks involved in working with asbestos and takes place through the months of September and October 2006.
