Asbestos help in Stanford
Duty holders and landlords in Stanford
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Stanford must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
How asbestos removal works in Stanford
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, with a consignment note for your records. Typical materials include floor tiles, gutters and downpipes and water tanks, and typical jobs are textured coatings and asbestos found during building work.
In Stanford, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.
