Affordable Asbestos Removal Cardiff

Asbestos exposure is a serious concern in Caerphilly, particularly for individuals who have worked with or around asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in the past. At Helix Environmental Ltd, trading as Affordable Asbestos Removal Cardiff, we understand the importance of asbestos testing and the measures that can be taken to prevent exposure.

When it comes to asbestos testing, there are several methods that can be used to detect the presence of asbestos fibres in the air or in building materials. These tests include:

• Air Sampling: This involves collecting air samples from a building or work site to detect the presence of asbestos fibres in the air.
• Bulk Sampling: This involves collecting samples of building materials, such as insulation or ceiling tiles, to detect the presence of asbestos.
• Personal Sampling: This involves collecting samples from an individual's clothing or personal protective equipment (PPE) to detect the presence of asbestos fibres.

In the UK, the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 require employers to manage the risks associated with asbestos exposure in the workplace. This includes conducting regular asbestos surveys and testing to detect the presence of asbestos fibres.

At Helix Environmental Ltd, we offer bespoke asbestos surveys and testing services to help identify the presence of asbestos in buildings and work sites. Our surveys include:

• Management Surveys: These surveys are designed to identify the presence of asbestos in buildings and to assess the risk of asbestos exposure.
• Refurbishment and Demolition Surveys: These surveys are designed to identify the presence of asbestos in buildings that are due to be refurbished or demolished.

If you work with or around asbestos-containing materials, it's essential to take measures to protect yourself from asbestos exposure. This includes:

• Wearing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): This includes wearing a mask, gloves, and protective clothing to prevent skin contact and inhalation of asbestos fibres.
• Following Safe Working Practices: This includes following safe working practices, such as wetting down asbestos-containing materials to prevent fibre release.

Asbestos exposure can cause serious health problems, including:

• Asbestosis: A lung disease caused by inhaling asbestos fibres.
• Lung Cancer: Asbestos exposure can increase the risk of developing lung cancer.
• Mesothelioma: A rare form of cancer that affects the lining of the lungs.

If you have been exposed to asbestos and have developed a related illness, you may be eligible for compensation. Our team at Helix Environmental Ltd can provide guidance on the compensation process.

If you have been exposed to asbestos, you may experience symptoms such as:

• Coughing

  If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it's essential to seek medical attention immediately.
