Lack of knowledge is (and probably has been) the major factor for decades now.
Knowledge of whether there is any asbestos present, where someone is working.
(Wilful) non-compliance is an acknowledged issue, but IME makes up a small proportion of the issue as a whole.
So would quicker and cheaper testing be helpful? (not sure if that is feasible) But as a material to work with does it have benefits over the ones currently used?

Or have we gone slightly over cautious in our approach?
