Since the 1900's asbestos has been widely used in construction and manufacturing industries. Specializing in recruiting within the construction sector, we have seen the increase in the need for asbestos surveyors and removers first hand.
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral which we now know can cause a number of serious health problems. Asbestos surveyors and removers are needed due to the harmful effects of asbestos on human health ☣
As a result of this discovery in the early 70's, many countries have implemented regulations to prevent exposure to asbestos in the workplace. These regulations require regular inspections and assessments of buildings for the presence of asbestos-containing materials by trained professionals. These trained professionals identify, locate and assess the risk of asbestos in buildings 🔍
In recent news a large asbestos removal company has faced serious charges for operating without a license and carrying out poor working practices resulting in the large spread of asbestos and exposure to home owners and their families. It is a very important trade to take seriously to protect everybody, including those working in this industry 💪
Overall, the need for asbestos surveyors and removals has increased as the awareness of the health hazards associated with asbestos has grown. Many older buildings still contain asbestos, which can pose a serious risk to the health of occupants and workers.
Additionally, many construction and renovation projects require asbestos surveys to be conducted prior to any work taking place to ensure the safety of workers and occupants. With health and safety standards constantly improving, the need for these skilled workers is set to increase, making this trade one to get into 😊
