If you are responsible or manage buildings built before the year 2000 there is a strong possibility that they have asbestos-containing materials within the construction.
Asbestos is unfortunately not a thing of the past, the latest figures produced by the Health and Safety Executive show over 5000 asbestos-related deaths per year, That’s over 95 people per week!

Asbestos legislation is lengthy and can be complex.

The legislation puts the responsibility for managing the asbestos safely with the duty holder who is defined as “every person who has, by virtue of a contract or tenancy, an obligation of any extent in relation to the maintenance or repair of non-domestic premises or any means of access or egress to or from those premises”

Many businesses wrongly assume that their responsibility extends only to ensure their buildings have an asbestos survey. Breach of the regulations can lead to HSE prosecution.

Whether it is advice regarding some materials you have in your buildings or a full audit of your asbestos policies and procedures we are here to help.
