Asbestos Surveys in Dublin

Asbestos, if present in a property, represents a significant danger to anyone in the vicinity. Once believed to be the most useful material in the construction industry due to its resistance to high temperatures, it is now known to cause life-threatening illnesses if ingested into the body.

 

When disturbed, asbestos releases millions of airborne particles that if breathed in, can cause several types of cancer of the lung, throat, and internal organs.

 

So, needless to say, you need to know if it’s present in your workplace.

 

OHSS Safety Consultants

 

Our team of professional asbestos surveyors have the necessary skills to carry a wide range of asbestos abatement services, including asbestos surveys, and management of asbestos removal and disposal.

 

Once a threat has been detected, we are able to implement measures that safeguard the health of your employees throughout the removal process, even conducting asbestos air monitoring after completion.

 

Legal Obligation

 

According to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, all occupiers and owners of commercial premises who have a responsibility to their maintenance, also have a duty under law to assess the presence of any materials containing asbestos. If asbestos is detected, it must be dealt with in accordance with clear legal guidelines set down.

 

Failure to do so endangers life and can land those responsible in a lot of hot water.

At OHSS, we have over 2 decades of experience in the field of asbestos abatement and all of our employees have extensive expertise in disciplines, such as environmental science, chemistry and mineral engineering.
