Failing to comply with the procedures and laws surrounding asbestos and the removal of it is a criminal offence.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) investigate incidents where the duty to manage the risk of asbestos materials has failed and the appropriate action is then taken.
An unlimited fine or up to two years in prison are the maximum penalties for asbestos related offences. Similarly to other offences to do with health and safety law, company directors and officers can be held liable for offences made with their consent, connivance or neglect.
Due to the serious health implications connected to working inappropriately with asbestos, all reported violations are treated with priority.
At Asbestos Roof Cleaning Systems, we ensure your roof repair is complaint with the procedures and laws surrounding asbestos removal. In fact, through our sister company Asbestostrip, we have often been consulted in the preparation of the laws and set standards.
