Asbestos Demolition Survey in Caerphilly: A Comprehensive Guide
Asbestos is a hazardous material that was widely used in construction and building materials until its ban in the UK in 1999. However, many buildings in Caerphilly, Cardiff, and surrounding areas still contain asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). When it comes to demolishing or refurbishing a property, it's essential to identify and manage asbestos risks to ensure a safe and compliant project.
Asbestos Management and Risk Assessment
Before any demolition or refurbishment work begins, a thorough asbestos survey must be carried out to identify the presence and extent of ACMs. This is a critical step in managing asbestos risks and ensuring compliance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.
