The Hidden Danger - TilersForums.com

[Highlander]

Was chatting to a Health Safety guy today and we got on about asbestos and the big campaign thats out. Just found the link worth having a look as I have worked in a good few places that there has been asbestos and normally I have found out after I have ripped things out.

Take a look might make you a bit more aware of the hidden killer.

The statistics are frightening... more people die each year from asbestosis than car crashes . A sobering thought !

Bit of a reality check, Can't even remember how many old propertys I've worked in. If you ever discover that you have aspestos related desease there are solicitors that specialize, You have 3 years after the discovery to register.

Asbestos was outlawed in Sweden in the late seventies, but it was used ALOT before it was outlawed, so anything which was built before ´79 has to be checked for asbestos. It's a ***** when the tests come back positive. I won't touch the stuff, and the guys who remove it have to be licensed. Spacesuits galore.
