Technical expertise to assist clients to identify and manage asbestos containing materials within buildings. It`s the fibres you can’t see that if inhaled can lead to several asbestos related diseases. Past exposure to asbestos kills around 3,000 people a year and this number is expected to rise further.

Support for managing health and safety from the provision of subject specific assessment and training to formulation of policy and procedure documentation. Employers have a duty under the Health and Safety at Work Act to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare of their employees at work. For non-domestic premises this also applies to people who simply use the premises. The scope of health and safety issues, regulation and guidance continues to broaden into all aspects, from pavements to complex machinery. Many issues are controlled by a common sense approach but regardless of the perceived level of risk, health and safety requires control and the consequences of failure can be severe.
