Best Practice in Asbestos Management for Social Housing
Across Britain, more than 40,000 people have died from the asbestos-related cancer mesothelioma since the late 1960s and the latest figures show that the annual numbers dying from this disease are increasing.
Asbestos came into popular use within the building trade in the 1950s and can be notoriously difficult to identify; found in pipe insulation, boilers, floor tiles, ceiling tiles, sprayed coatings and certain kinds of roofing materials.
Our Managing Director, Mark Seaborn said on asbestos; "Many people don't realise how common it is to find asbestos in buildings built before the year 2000. It's important to be able to identify it and also to know what to do if you do find it."
"This is why we have organised our Best Practice in Asbestos Management for Social Housing Seminar, with key industry experts to explain the importance of managing asbestos in your housing stock and how to protect your staff from the dangers of asbestos exposure."
Our key industry experts who will be speaking at the seminar are Dr Martin Gibson, Specialist Principal Inspector for the HSE; Jon Murthy, Marketing and Communications Manager for UKAS; Amanda Stubbs, Partner and Environmental Law Specialist from Trowers and Hamlins LLP and our own Head of Asbestos Services, Paul Wright.
