The HSE have introduced an 'Introduction to Asbestos' package that is aimed primarily, but not exclusively, at the 16-19 age group. It is hoped that this will be delivered principally through the vocational education and training route and/or the industry route i.e. in workplaces. The package comprises a 45 interactive presentation, lecture notes, homework sheets, posters and a concertina card. The package will be available as a free download from the HSE asbestos web page.
