Asbestos Awareness – Top 5 Facts
In an era where the echoes of industrial progress still reverberate through our buildings and infrastructures, asbestos remains a silent sentinel of the past’s oversight. Asbestos Surveys Essex stands at the forefront of combatting this legacy, emphasising the critical importance of asbestos awareness for safety and compliance in today’s environments.
Some History On Asbestos
Asbestos, known for its fire-resistant and insulating properties, found widespread use across construction and manufacturing industries up until the late 20th century. Its durability and versatility made it a material of choice for builders and engineers, oblivious to the latent health risks it posed. It wasn’t until the devastating health consequences of asbestos exposure came to light that its use was curtailed and regulated. Take a look furhter into our Asbestos Management Surveys here.
