Experience suggests that crocidolite (blue asbestos) is likely to be significantly more dangerous in this respect and this has led to a dramatic reduction in its use. Whereas formerly it was found in thermal insulation materiair roofing material, and even in sprayed asbestos, there is no reason to suppose that it is used in any form in the construction industry at present. However, this does not mean that the risk has disappeared as maintenance, replacement and demolition may expose workers where this material has been used in the past. It is subject to spedal provisions under the asbestos regulations.
