UK Asbestos Survey Company Fined

Filed Under Asbestos News

An asbestos survey company did an inadequate job and is now seeing a hefty fined because they did not completely survey and report the presence of asbestos in two schools in Wales. Because there was no information about asbestos being present, the construction workers went into the schools to remodel and never knew there was a need for asbestos removal contractors.

 

The contractor disturbed the asbestos insulation boards putting their own health in jeopardy because of the incomplete survey by the asbestos surveyor. The fine is not going to help the workers who were exposed to the asbestos without proper safety gear on. This means that they will more than need to monitor their health for the rest of their lives. How much money will their health cost.

 

The workers who exhibit symptoms associated with asbestos or mesothelioma will be in the hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars. Asbestos attorneys see this kind of problem all the time. Unsuspecting people exposed to asbestos during construction work. This is why it is so important to seek asbestos legal advice from any lawyer that represents those who have been exposed to asbestos.

 

Asbestos exposure such as this case will mean that all the workers in the area when the asbestos particles were disturbed will need to talk with asbestos lawyers now for future reference if they start to show signs of the cancer mesothelioma. This is why it is so important to have these asbestos surveys done before starting any work in any building of any kind that is older.
