WORCESTER'S JobCentre Plus is to re-open tomorrow following an asbestos scare.

The Sansome Street office was closed a fortnight ago after a substance that was suspected to be asbestos was found.

It was later confirmed to be asbestos, which is completely safe if left undisturbed.

Tests at the JobCentre have now revealed the air is clear of fibre particles and there is no danger to staff or members of the public visiting the building.

Asbestos poses a health risk when fibres are airborne and can lodge in the tissue of people's lungs. It is the greatest cause of work-related deaths in Britain.
