According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) in the UK:

• Asbestos-related diseases are the leading cause of work-related deaths in the UK, with over 5,000 deaths each year attributed to past exposure to asbestos.
• In a survey conducted by the HSE in 2018, 20% of respondents reported never having heard of asbestos, and 47% reported not knowing what it was used for.
• Asbestos is still present in many buildings in the UK, including homes, schools, and hospitals, and is estimated to be a contributing factor in around half of all work-related cancer deaths.
• As of 2021, there is still no ban on the use of asbestos in the UK, although its use has been heavily restricted since the 1980s.
