Asbestos

Asbestos may be found in a range of locations in FHE buildings – insulation, boards or panels, pipe lagging etc. Under the Asbestos at Work Regulations (2002) there is a duty to actively manage properties and inspect for asbestos, create a register and deal with high risk situations.
Anyone intending to work with/remove asbestos will have to be licensed so you will need to find a specialist licensed contractor.

Useful guidance is available from the Health and Safety Executive
