Managing dust in construction & trades and related industries

More than 3,500 builders die each year from cancers related to their work and becoming exposed to harmful substances, with thousands more cases of ill-health and working days lost. Dust poses a real long-term health risk to anyone who inhales it, often causing harmful lung conditions years after a person comes into contact with it.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) announced that from 15 May until July, it’ll be visiting sites to make sure employers and workers are taking the right steps to protect everyone from dust.
