Compliant and Safe Asbestos Removal Across Yorkshire
About Asbestos
Asbestos was a very popular building material within the construction industry, up until the banning of all asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in 1999. Well known for its fire-retardant and insulating abilities, asbestos was used in the build of many properties at the time. Before 1999, the UK government introduced numerous restrictions relating to the use of asbestos and voluntary bans were carried out across the country.
Various bans carried on for decades, before the ultimate ban on buying, selling, importing and exporting all types of asbestos was implemented in November of 1999. Properties built after this time are less likely to contain asbestos, but the risk can never fully be eliminated.
Asbestos Exposure
Statistics from the Health and Safety Executive demonstrate that asbestos exposure kills approximately 4,500 people each year in the UK. A person can be at risk when they are exposed to asbestos fibres as a result of broken or disturbed ACMs. This could be due to maintenance works, refurbishments or demolition of a property or parts of a building. As asbestos poses severe health risks, asbestos removal and remediation processes are one of the most heavily controlled sectors within the construction industry. This is why opting for a professional asbestos removal company in Yorkshire is required to undertake the removal of asbestos in a safe and compliant manner.
Demographics Susceptible to Asbestos Exposure
In the UK, tradespeople are at the highest risk of exposure to asbestos, especially those involved in maintenance and refurbishment jobs. This is because asbestos was widely used for many applications across the construction industry, before the material’s final ban occurred in 1999. The demographics most susceptible include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Mechanics
- Electricians
- Plumbers
- Builders
- Engineers
Asbestos in Yorkshire
A historic county in northern England, Yorkshire is known for its Roman and Viking heritage, as well as its Norman castles, medieval abbeys, industrial cities and national parks. Home to Anglian Tower, Bedale Hall & Museum, Burton Agnes Manor and many more, Yorkshire’s architecture reflects the county’s Roman, Palladian and royal history.
However, with history comes a higher use of asbestos.
The history of asbestos in Yorkshire dates back to 1906, when a factory during the Armley Asbestos Disaster, specialised in the manufacture of asbestos insulation mattresses for steam locomotive boilers. It is believed that this factory was one of the only two factories in the world to process crocidolite (blue) asbestos at the time.
If you are the dutyholder of a building in Yorkshire constructed or renovated before the year 2000, there is a chance your premises may still contain asbestos.
