Asbestos is a dangerous substance that was widely used in construction materials until the 1990s. Exposure to asbestos fibres can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. In some cases, the symptoms of asbestos-related diseases may not appear for many years after exposure, making early detection and prevention vital.

As a responsible property owner or manager, it is your duty to ensure that your property is free from asbestos. This is particularly important if your property was built before 2000, as it may contain asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) that pose a risk to the health and safety of occupants, contractors, and visitors.
