Asbestos is a generic term used to describe several forms of naturally occurring silicate minerals, e.g. Chrysotile (white asbestos), Amosite (brown asbestos) and Crocidolite (blue asbestos). The link between exposure to all types of asbestos, particularly airborne fibres, and fatal illnesses is well known. It is estimated that over 3000 people die of asbestos related causes each year, with the number increasing annually. The most common serious diseases caused by exposure to asbestos are: Asbestosis, Lung Cancer and Mesothelioma. For these diseases there is no known cure, with victims sometimes dying within 18 months to 2 years from diagnosis. Millions of tons of products containing asbestos have been used in construction in the past, with many of these products still there and no central register in existence. Here are some places where asbestos can be found: wall and ceiling panels, pipe insulation, floor and ceiling tiles, fuse boxes, roofing materials, rainwater goods and water tanks. asbestos removal Astech Environmental Services Limited specialises in asbestos removal – the safe removal of asbestos-based materials.

Astech Environmental Services Limited can assist with this problem by carrying out an asbestos survey of your premises to identify and determine the extent of the material and associated hazards. The survey findings are presented as a written report with photographic evidence. The proposed amendments to the H.S.E document, 'The control of asbestos at work regulations (CAWR)' includes a 'duty to manage'. This places a duty on all employers to take reasonable steps to determine the location and condition of materials likely to contain asbestos and to produce a written record including risk assessments and a management plan. This plan must then be implemented in order to protect persons working within their building against the possibility of exposure to asbestos dust.. contact us You can contact Astech Environmental Services Limited by post, phone fax or email: Units 13a & b, Sunrise Business Park
