*November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month*

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is raising awareness on occupational lung diseases and how to protect workers’ health.

It is estimated that 12,000 people die from work-related lung diseases every year.

These deaths, linked to exposure to hazardous substances at work, include lung cancer and approximately 5,000 asbestos-related disease deaths.

HSE is currently running 2 campaigns to highlight the risks of asbestos and how to stay safe. Free resources and information are available at:

- 'Asbestos – Your Duty' (https://workright.campaign.gov.uk/campaigns/asbestos-your-duty-campaign-assets/?utm_source=govdelivery&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=asbestos-trades&utm_term=ay-wr&utm_content=asbestos-29-oct-24) which provides guidance and templates to support dutyholders with the legal duty to manage asbestos in buildings;
- 'Asbestos and You' (https://workright.campaign.gov.uk/campaigns/asbestos/ ) which highlights the risk of asbestos to tradespeople and includes a free quick guide for tradespeople to download.

Regulation 22 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations (CAR) places a duty on employers to maintain a health record for employees involved in licensed work with asbestos and make sure they are under medical surveillance by an appointed doctor. ‘Licensed work’ includes work with the most dangerous forms of asbestos, where asbestos fibres can be most easily released into the air, leading to a higher risk of worker exposure. Examples of this are work with asbestos coatings and most work with asbestos insulation and asbestos insulating board. CAR also requires that workers involved in some types of non-licensed work with asbestos are under medical surveillance. This medical surveillance may be conducted by an appointed doctor or a doctor who is not appointed by HSE, provided they are GMC-registered and have a licence to practise.

Should you wish to enquire about medical surveillance assessments under CAR that are available upon request from our in-house HSENI-appointed doctors, please do get in touch at enquiries@blackwellassociates.co.uk or by telephone on 02890 656131.
