What AsbestosIQ is

AsbestosIQ is a free public register that aggregates UK asbestos-related data into one source-cited graph. The first data live is the Health and Safety Executive’s enforcement notices register; further sources — HSE prosecutions, ONS mortality, Companies House successor data, news investigations, and BAILII judgments — are landing in subsequent milestones.

Who it serves

Affected people and their families. Find out who was responsible for asbestos at a workplace, school or building. Connect with charities and support services on your terms.

Journalists and researchers. Search 112,000+ enforcement notices, download structured data, and trace exposure histories across UK organisations.

Lawyers and compliance professionals. Premium access to AI-assisted multi-agent research, custom exposure dossiers and bulk export — designed for claimant-side firms and corporate compliance teams.

What's in the register

  • HSE enforcement notices — live; the first source published.
  • HSE prosecutions — planned.
  • ONS mesothelioma mortality data — planned.
  • Companies House successor data — planned; links defunct asbestos employers to their corporate successors.
  • News investigations — planned; archived investigative reporting on UK asbestos cases.
  • BAILII judgments — planned; the public-court record.

Source-citation discipline

Every entry in the register links back to its primary source. We do not edit, paraphrase, or infer beyond what the source published. Generated narrative paragraphs are template-driven against structured fields, not freehand. Defamation guardrails govern the homepage Featured Notice slot.

Editorial standards

Inside data rows AsbestosIQ is neutral — primary-source presentation only. On meta-pages like this one and on /history we speak with our own voice as the project operator. We never attribute claims to organisations they did not publish; historical claims are clearly distinguished from present-day positions.

Funding

Public access is free. A pro tier (premium AI-assisted research, bulk export, custom dossiers) funds the project for claimant-side legal teams and corporate compliance users. No advertising, no data resale.

Behind the project

AsbestosIQ is built and operated by Standard Consulting Limited, a UK company. For governance, takedown queries and right-of-reply, see the legal notice.
