Asbestos Removal

The control of Asbestos regulations 2006, prohibitated the importation, and the use of all forms of asbestos. Blue and Brown asbestos was banned in 1985 and white asbestos banned in 1999. According to the CAR 2006 regulations any building built after 1999 should no longer have an issue with Asbestos.

Asbestos can be found in floor tiles, spray coatings on ceilings, walls, and beams, artex ceilings, insulating boards, lagging, and the list goes on, including Electrical equipment such as flash pads and flash guards.

Asbestos is responsible for over 4000 deaths a year and the government has introduced strict legislation to protect people from the dangers associated with the inhalation of asbestos fibres.

Under current legislation it is the Building Managers responsibility to comply with the CAR 2006 Asbestos regulations. Most buildings should have a type 2 Asbestos survey undertaken if built before 1999, unless there is or a high probability that there is Asbestos present a type 3 survey should be undertaken prior to any work where the fabric of the building is going to be disturbed.
