Papers and correspondence re the work of the Health & Safety Commission's (HSC) Advisory Committee on Asbestos (ACA), in reverse chronological order.

ACA was chaired by the Scottish trade unionist and political activist, William (Bill) James Simpson (hence 'Simpson Committee). Simpson was HSC chairman 1974-1983.

ACA's terms of reference were: "To review the risks to health arising from exposure to asbestos or products containing asbestos including: persons exposed at work; members of the public exposed to asbestos generated from work activities; members of the public exposed to asbestos from consumer products and from asbestos waste; [and] To make recommendations as to whether any further protection is required."
