LU3 1JE | Asbestos is a major health hazard. Asbestos solutions provides asbestos awareness training and asbestos building surveys throughout the UK. At least 3,500 people die in the UK each year from mesothelioma and asbestos related lung cancer as a result of past exposure to asbestos, and according to the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) this is expected to rise to 10,000 by 2010. Asbestos was used extensively as a building material from the 1950s through to the mid 1980s. Although some of this material has been removed there are still many thousands of tonnes of asbestos present in buildings throughout the UK.
