You may have heard that “one asbestos fibre can kill”. We doubt this is true, and so should you. The fact of the matter is that there are relatively few circumstances where concerns over asbestos are warranted. This is not a course where we try to frighten participants, or try to convince your organization to embark upon an expensive course of asbestos survey and abatement work. CrossSafety strives to provide up-to-date scientifically accurate and balanced information about asbestos hazards and risks, along with practical advice on ways of complying with regulatory obligations in the most cost-effective way achievable.
