ASBESTOS REMOVAL IN BRISTOL DISCUSSED BY RM PENNY
Asbestos was a material that was used historically for its insulation properties. Although there were studies as early as the 1900s that suspected the toxicity of this material, it wasn’t until the 1980s that the wide-scale risk of asbestos was identi ed and the material was deemed to be too dangerous to remain in buildings. This carcinogenic material caused historical industrial workers to develop either forms of lung cancer or diseases such as ‘Mesothelioma’ and ‘Pleural Thickening.’ This led to bans on the material to be used as insulation and older buildings have to have asbestos removed from the structures. At RM Penny, we o er asbestos removal and surveillance services to arrange for the safe identi cation, disposal and removal of asbestos. In this article, we will discuss the dangerous of asbestos as well as why you need to carry out the removing of asbestos from buildings before demolition commences.

WHY IS ASBESTOS DANGEROUS? As discussed, asbestos causes a range of lung cancers and diseases that are usually only caused by exposure to asbestos. Asbestos bres when in the air can be inhaled and the bres become trapped in the lungs. All types of asbestos pose serious health hazards to humans with some asbestos types being more toxic than others.

broken cement is another risk factor and cement infused asbestos unfortunately exists in many buildings even to this day. Asbestos miners historically were the workers who were most at risk as they were in direct contact with asbestos bres after mining the rocks. Shipbuilders also were exposed to a great deal of asbestos as ships were insulted with the material. Asbestos related diseases can take decades for symptoms of disease to appear with a variety of terminal illnesses being su ered as a result of exposure to asbestos bres. Many structures were insulated with asbestos so the risk is still apparent in the modern day. If you are working on a demolition project for certain buildings, you will need to have an asbestos survey and disposal carried out.
ARRANGING FOR AN ASBESTOS REMOVAL IN BRISTOL If you are demolishing a building then it is more than likely that it has asbestos present if it was constructed pre-1990. If this is the case then you must be safe rather than sorry and arrange for an asbestos survey and asbestos removal. Asbestos is highly dangerous and will have to be disposed of using specialised equipment such as respirators and specialist disposal equipment. When you are carrying out a demolition project, you will need to arrange for an asbestos survey as there is a risk that asbestos is present in the building. A variety of buildings before the 1990s include asbestos somewhere in the building as it was used extensively in walls, tiles, vinyl oor tiles and gutters. Although this material is highly feared, it need not be the dangerous removal process that often comes to mind when dealing with asbestos. At RM Penny, we have been carrying out asbestos removals for decades, in every type of building. We can carry out the whole process starting from the survey of the building to the legal disposal of the asbestos.
REQUIREMENTS FOR ASBESTOS REMOVAL Before any demolition work can commence, an asbestos survey will need to be carried out. We carry out the ‘Demolition / Major Refurbishment’ survey which used to be known as the ‘Type 3’ Survey. This is an intrusive survey which means that extensive sampling takes place and this gives the most thorough picture of which asbestos containing materials are present in the building. Once any asbestos is identi ed in the building then it is located, identi ed and can be removed and safely disposed of. This follows fully in line with the Control of Asbestos Regulation.
