Regulations
Regulations impose a duty of care, on owners of industrial and
commercial premises. This means that a survey of the building must
be undertaken to log the location of all Asbestos Containing
Materials. The survey must be updated regularly and must be
available for inspection when required by the relevant authorities.
This is a legal requirement.
Removing Asbestos Containing Materials is a very costly business.
Legislation requires properly managed removal & disposal
according to the Environmental Agencies strict regulations. However
current guidelines say that in place management, such as
'Encapsulation' is an option. Rather than disturbing the material by
removal, 'In Place' Encapsulation is an alternative for building
owners and much more affordable. |
