Radio advert - Tradespeople transcript

Background sound - Building site sounds… hammers banging, saws cutting, crowbars lifting floorboards. We hear this for a few seconds before the voiceover starts. It continues under the voiceover.

"If you’re a tradesperson, your day-to-day life probably sounds a bit like this. Until you disturb asbestos".

Background sound - Gradually, the building site sounds morph into coughs and wheezes. (Hammer banging: cough cough cough, saw cutting: wheezing chest, etc)

"Because breathing in those fibres can lead to fatal lung diseases, devastating your health and livelihood. Asbestos can be in any building constructed before 2000. And it’s still a major killer of tradespeople in Northern Ireland. Always ask for the Asbestos Register".
