A very powerful and important message about an easily forgotten everyday hazard. Good work CITB!

Thank you i was about put on a gas mask but thanks to your video i found out it had asbestos in it and I’m only (13)

[@TheBreaster]

Got me thinking. Thanks for raising awareness. I'll think twice & be on the lookout for this hidden danger. More info is needed. Great video. Best of luck to you

[@skendeenee]

I’m shocked they never talked about asbestos at all in school Its such a serious topic and I think everyone should be aware of the danger as it could save so many lives

[@jamiejosh96]

Unfortunately they don’t care about tradesmen. No training whatsoever

[@gnsurveysltd]

They do in history

[@dantrixter]

I’m an electrician and Iv probably breathed in loads of asbestos without realising! Makes you think, Iv also dolled holes to put spot lights in

That’s why I quit my apprenticeship

@@Staffy_ luckily it’s a lot safer now. Far from totally, but people used to be massively exposed

Been labouring on old prosperities, for 2 years refurbishing them, it makes me think how many fibres I’ve inhaled

[@jamiejosh96]

Come across any asbestos your aware of?

[@B_M2001]

Lost my Nana the same way, asbestos exposure for 30+ years. Hope this fella is comfy wherever he is

[@2Greezy2Envy]

Sorry to hear, also this man is speaking truth. This commonly occurs where work establishments fail to provide awareness and PPE. There's no respect in this industry. I noticed you posted yesterday, is there anything new you have come across that's alerting?
