Asbestos Finds From Our Own Surveys
Asbestos Ceiling
Tiles and Artex Examples
|
This
asbestolux tile was discovered during a type 3 asbestos survey on
a 1970's office in the West Midlands during August 2004.
Not
all tiles come as clearly marked as this one and therefore older
tiles should be tested for the presence of asbestos.

Both ceiling
tiles in this picture were tested and found to contain asbestos.
They were found
during a type 3 asbestos survey in laboratory premises in West Bromwich,
West Midlands in September 2004.
The building
was due for demolition, but undisturbed, the tiles presented no
immediate risk to health.

Beneath the
suspended ceiling, this supporting column was plastered.
Inspection above
the suspended ceiling (picture) revealed a previous Artex coating
which was tested and found to contain asbestos.
Old Artex often
contained asbestos - this must only be removed by specialist contractors
- it must NOT be sanded under any circumstances.

Remember, it is now
a legal requirement for all commercial premises to maintain an asbestos
management plan.
You have a duty to
identify where asbestos may be present in your building, in order to safeguard
the health and safety of your employees, visitors and contractors.
This is not optional.
