Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral known for its heat-resistant properties. Before researchers highlighted the hazards of the mineral, it was used extensively in construction. Asbestos is present in various building types, including commercial, industrial, and domestic structures.
Building owners and/or managers must actively manage asbestos risks in all building types to ensure the safety of any occupant.
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral with incredibly useful and versatile properties. From insulation to construction materials, asbestos has found its way into many industries. The disturbance of asbestos can lead to the inhalation of its fibres, causing serious health risks.
While asbestos has beneficial properties, its microscopic fibres, when airborne, pose severe health risks. Managing these risks is crucial for the well-being of occupants and legal compliance.
Asbestos in homes poses the same challenges as in a commercial property. Homeowners should be aware of potential risks during renovations and maintenance.
Commercial structures require stringent asbestos management to ensure the continued safe condition of any known asbestos containing materials.
In industrial settings, asbestos is often present in machinery and insulation materials. Effective management is vital to safeguard workers’ health.
Each building type has unique challenges, requiring tailored approaches. At PV Environmental Surveys we understand and help clients develop strategies for managing asbestos risks in all building types.
