Sectors
We work across a variety of sectors to ensure asbestos is appropriately dealt with in order to safeguard staff, patients, students, and visitors.
Education
Asbestos disturbances or damage within educational settings can put staff and pupils at risk of developing asbestos-related illnesses.
Regular maintenance activities within schools and universities can disturb asbestos that is present in buildings, causing fibres to be released into the environment. Asbestos detection and management processes are essential to safeguard both staff and students from risk.
Leisure & Retail
If asbestos is located on your premises, it’s important to take appropriate action to protect both staff and visitors within the leisure and retail industry.
Leisure and retail facilities can often be run from older buildings and sometimes accommodate hundreds of people at one time. If asbestos is found, this can threaten the health of employees and members of the public, therefore it must be dealt with discreetly and efficiently by a team of specialists.
Healthcare
The presence of asbestos in hospitals or general practices can put staff and already vulnerable patients at further risk of developing additional illnesses.
Keeping patients safe is the main priority in the healthcare sector, and removing or effectively dealing with asbestos is part of this process. If the substance is present in your healthcare building it’s important to take the right precautions in order to protect patients while maintaining the quality of every healthcare setting.
Commercial Offices
By owning a commercial space such as an office, you have a legal responsibility to ensure any traces of asbestos are appropriately encapsulated or removed.
Everyone working in your commercial office space has the right to feel safe at work, therefore the proper elimination of asbestos or asbestos-containing materials is crucial. It’s essential that you keep a record of any traces of asbestos and take relevant action to avoid long-term exposure for staff.
Construction
Construction workers are at high-risk when it comes to asbestos-related diseases due to then nature of their daily responsibilities.
Working with materials that usually contain asbestos fibres such as roofing panels and cement is part of a construction worker’s day-to-day job. It’s important to properly assess the asbestos-related dangers on a construction site in order to eliminate any issues and protect the entire team from illness.
Farming
Asbestos is commonly found within farm building materials and equipment, presenting a risk to staff and livestock.
Due to the nature of the materials used in farm buildings, such as corrugated roofing on barns, asbestos is often present and can risk the lives of farmers and their animals. In order to limit these risks asbestos encapsulation services can be used to ensure disturbances are avoided and fibres remain enclosed in a specific area.
Public Sector
Public sector buildings are usually the most common developments built using asbestos-containing materials.
If buildings such as libraries, museums, and town halls aren’t properly assessed for the presence of asbestos, building managers can put hundreds of members of the general public at risk. Public sector buildings should be regularly monitored to ensure they remain safe for visitors and any asbestos present can’t be disturbed.
Domestic & Social Housing
Asbestos can often be found in many houses built before the year 2000, and this can pose health risks to residents if disturbed or damaged.
Social housing tenants and residents of domestic housing should feel safe from the dangers of asbestos in their own homes. Although building materials can’t be changed without disturbing asbestos, there are encapsulation processes that can cover the area and protect residents from developing illnesses over time.
Warehousing
Many warehousing facilities originated in the 1980s and were built using asbestos-containing materials which continue to pose a risk to staff and inventory.
Common warehouse building materials such as corrugated roofing and asbestos cement remain within facilities at risk of being disturbed. These possible contaminated areas must be managed and met with a suitable solution to ensure operations can continue and both employees and stock remain protected from asbestos.
