The Problem
Recently the hazards of the past widespread use of asbestos in insulation and fibre protection has come to light. Asbestos can be found in various situations, but mainly in buildings built before 1970. This is often found applied to walls, ceilings, heating systems, structural steelwork and manufacturing plants. Damage and decay can be caused by vibration, dampness, impact etc.
Health Risks
Asbestos is a potentially highly dangerous material. The main hazard arises when asbestos fibres are inhaled. This can lead to a number of diseases, the best known being asbestosis.
The Solution
The nature and extent of contamination is determined by inspection and detailed analysis of airborne asbestos fibres. For this purpose an independent registered laboratory working to European Reference Methods is utilised.
A fully detailed written report including recommended treatment techniques, specifications, time requirements and cost implications is then prepared.
