HSE warns businesses to ensure they keep accurate details of asbestos in their buildings before any construction work takes place. Managers of non-domestic premises must also ensure they act upon any information about asbestos, which they may hold. The warning follows a serious incident in which at least 15 tradesmen were exposed to airborne asbestos fibres over almost two months during a major refurbishment of the former Ballroom nightclub, Carnegie Drive, Dunfermline in 2005.
