Evening
I have been asked to see a chap who has had an accidental exposure to asbestos-while on a client site- yes potentially inhaled dust and company are doing tests to establish the type. I have no experience of asbestos differences between colour,fibre, risk of disease etc so need a quick "idiots" guide for accidental exposure. I've done a google search so know the difference between asbestosis and mesothelioma. i had planned to learn gradually as i suspected he may want to see me and I've discovered They have put him in for Tomorrow (thurs)as he is really worried!
They are waiting for an ohp to come back to them with dates and in the interim want me to chat with him as he is very worried. I am happy to tell him I am not very conversant and will get back to him but I would like to try to offer a bit of knowledge rather than trawling reams of legal websites and hse tells me to risk assess for exposure and seek oh advice... Where does OH get the advice- quickly?
Jisc of course...!
