Asbestos. It's a word that can bring any large-scale commercial project to a screeching halt. If your development involves buildings constructed before the year 2000, there's a good chance this hazardous material is lurking somewhere within the structure. For decision-makers like you, understanding the risks and regulations surrounding asbestos is crucial not only for project timelines but also for the safety of everyone involved.

Why Asbestos Matters in Commercial Projects

Asbestos was a popular building material for decades due to its strength, fire resistance, and affordability. However, we now know that inhaling asbestos fibres can lead to serious health conditions, including lung cancer and mesothelioma.

In the UK, strict regulations govern how asbestos must be managed. Non-compliance can result in hefty fines, project delays, and even legal action. That's why it's essential to have a knowledgeable and experienced partner like INNOX Asbestos Services on your side.
