Asbestos
Although asbestos was BANNED in the UK in 1999, it did not disappear.
This means that your employees are at risk of disturbing it. The implications of this can be deadly!
(This also applies to construction & renovation projects at home.)
If you are an employer you may have a duty to manage asbestos in your building if it was constructed before 2000.
– You cannot see, smell or feel asbestos fibres in the air or on your clothes.
– If disturbed, these tiny fibres are unknowingly released, which can cause illnesses such as;
- Asbestosis (a lung condition including a progressive shortness of breath)
- Mesothelioma (a type of cancer affecting the lining of the lungs)
- Lung cancer,
- Pleural thickening (the lung thickens & swells)
- Pulmonary hypertension.
We are excited to announce that we now have a fully qualified asbestos surveyor at Ryder Partnership LTD, who can…
– visit your location,
– inspect the premises,
– send samples to the lab,
– & provide reports for you with recommendations on containment & managing.
