If you own an older building, it is more than likely to contain asbestos within it. In West Bromwich, an asbestos survey is essential for older buildings, especially those built before the 2000s. Asbestos was regarded as a miracle additive to building materials. As a result, it was added to many building materials for strength, improved insulation and heat and chemical resistance. However, it was discovered that exposure to asbestos resulted in lethal diseases. Thereafter, its use was banned. While it is a banned substance, it can still be found in many parts of a building. When asbestos is damaged or aged, it releases microscopic fibres into the air. These can be inhaled, embedding into the lining of the lungs and other soft tissue. The result of exposure to asbestos results in incurable diseases and cancer.
It is the responsibility of the owner of the building to have an asbestos survey in West Bromwich. Furthermore, it must be completed by a qualified team with both the experience and the knowledge of working with asbestos and the management thereof.
