    About Crocidolite Blue Asbestos

    Crocidolite blue asbestos has amphibole fibres, which are extremely fine, brittle and often rod or needle-like in appearance. Due to its durable and heat-resistant properties, crocidolite was the most commonly used type of amphibole asbestos, frequently found in asbestos cement sheets, asbestos floor tiles and asbestos insulating board (AIB) across the automobile manufacturing and construction industries throughout the 1900s. This was until the use of asbestos in new buildings was banned in the UK in 1999.

    In accordance with HSE regulations, ACMs should only be handled by fully licensed asbestos consultants. This is where Reddish Vale can help you. Whether you require an Asbestos Survey, Asbestos Removal, Asbestos Remediation, or Non-Mechanical Soft-Strip Demolition – our team of asbestos experts have over 30 years of combined industry experience ready to help keep you and your building safe and compliant.

    how dangerous is crocidolite blue asbestos?

    How Dangerous is Crocidolite Blue Asbestos?

    While any ACM poses the potential to cause serious harm, crocidolite blue asbestos is much more dangerous than other types, such as chrysotile white asbestos for example. Due to its very thin and sharp fibres, crocidolite blue asbestos particles can easily infiltrate the lungs or abdomen, potentially resulting in serious diseases, such as mesothelioma.

    If your property is an older construction, any remaining ACMs left in situ may have been damaged over time, causing unwanted fibres to be released. As ACMs are difficult to detect with an untrained eye, it is vital that only licensed asbestos specialists inspect, remediate or remove these ACMs, to mitigate your risk of asbestos exposure.
