Asbestos exposure is Aotearoa’s number one workplace killer. Around 220 people die each year from preventable asbestos-related disease. The airborne fibres are so small they’re invisible to the naked eye, and can cause harm when breathed in. There are no safe levels of exposure.  The dangers are widely known, so there are no excuses for not managing asbestos safely. Learn how to protect yourself and others at https://lnkd.in/gkWRhKgP
