What does the word asbestos mean to you? I am not really sure why but when I hear the word asbestos my mind thinks of it is a negative, a bad word, I think of cancer and suffering. Asbestos has regularly featured in the news over the last ten years with new industry regulations, asbestos law suits and the development of new awareness training programs.
During the last decade the Control of Asbestos at Work Regulations 2002 and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006 have come into force as the Government seek to improve and tighten up the laws to do with asbestos.
Many people believe that many dangerous illnesses such as cancer of the lungs, mesothelioma and pleural thickening are caused by the asbestos fibres that people have come in to contact with or have been exposed to. This belief is backed up by a vast amount of research that has been conducted over the last thirty years.
There are now a variety of training programs that people who work within certain industries are able to attend. These industries include electricians, builders, roofers and plumbers.
A number of specialist companies also offer to conduct an asbestos survey where they attempt to identify it, manage it, potentially remove the asbestos, test the asbestos and also write a report about the potential dangers/problems that could arise from its presence.
A company will normally offer three different forms of survey and it is worth enquiring with their specialist team as to which one would be the most suitable for your particular circumstances.
