Asbestos Risk –A Short History
Asbestos is not a product of modern technology. Yet despite the evidence of severe health risks related to exposure to asbestos dating as far back as the first century, the production of products containing asbestos continued to grow until the mid 1970s, with a lack of understanding and awareness that still has fatal consequences today.

News that the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) has just published a revised guidance on managing asbestos risks, entitled ‘Asbestos: The Survey Guide’, aimed at anyone surveying or removing asbestos from business premises, is a reminder of a former lack of asbestos awareness in the workplace, which still causes so many illnesses and fatalities today.
A Bristol based company has been prosecuted and fined by the Health and Safety Executive for exposing their workers to asbestos whilst working. Frank Bruce & Company Ltd pleaded guilty in Bristol Magistrates in relation to refurbishment work at Lawrence Hill Industrial Park, Bristol in February 2009.
