If you work in a building which is say, more that 20 years old, ask to see the building asbestos register. If there is no asbestos fine (check how do they know?) - if not make sure everyone knows where it is located, get rid of it if it is "high risk", otherwise make sure it is properly monitored and marked. For UNISON stuff on this issue. JG
