Asbestos
Many of us are aware of the issues surrounding asbestos and the precautions we need to take to prevent developing asbestos related conditions and ilnesses. Asbestos is the single greatest cause of work-related deaths in the United Kingdom. We all need to understand our responsibilities and how to protect ourselves and others when dealing with such a hazardous substance.
Inhaling asbestos fibres can cause serious illnesses, including malignant lung cancer, mesothelioma (a formerly rare cancer strongly associated with exposure to asbestos), and asbestosis (a type of pneumoconiosis). The European Union has banned all use of asbestos and extraction, manufacture and processing of asbestos products since January 1, 2005.
You need to learn how to identify asbestos and how to remove it safely from site. It is often found in cladding, boiler rooms, pipe insulation and textured coatings for walls and ceilings. Removal services can be hired to remove potentially harmful fibres.
