Help HSE to improve communications for those working in construction trades by completing our short survey on safety and asbestos in the workplace.
Your feedback will be used to evaluate the design of our current and future communications about asbestos to businesses.
The survey will only take 5 minutes to complete. Your answers are confidential and will be anonymised before being reported in aggregate with the views of other tradespeople across sectors. Thank you.

The TrustMark App was developed in collaboration with HSE, launched in Autumn 2022, and has recently had new content added.
The App is aimed at helping homeowners to better understand what they need to know and do when having building work done on their home, to make sure that everything is in place to keep people and property safe while works are ongoing.
Content already on the App includes information on energy efficiency measures – insulation, solar panels, heat pumps and double glazing; general repair and maintenance; and work when changing or replacing kitchens and bathrooms.
New content added includes information on loft conversions, garden buildings, living spaces and garages.
HSE is one of the UK's market surveillance authorities, which monitors and enforces legal requirements on the safety (including risks to health) of most products used in the workplace.
HSE has a duty to notify the Secretary of State about unsafe or non-compliant products and of the measures taken and communicated by an economic operator.
Products that present a serious or high risk to the health and safety of the user, and products that have been recalled, are published on GOV.UK.
A recent example of a product HSE investigated is the RGA5 fall arrest block, designed to stop a person after they have fallen.
