Kadec Asbestos Management

Impartial, Expert Advice On Asbestos
In the construction industry, the presence of asbestos demands vigilant attention. Asbestos, once a widely used material for its fire-resistant and insulating properties, now stands as a significant concern due to its hazardous nature. At Kadec Asbestos Management, we prioritise safety and awareness surrounding asbestos in construction. Join us as we delve into the intricacies of managing asbestos in the construction sector.


Asbestos In construction
Asbestos in construction refers to the presence of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) within buildings, structures, or infrastructure. These materials were commonly used in various construction applications before the harmful effects of asbestos became widely recognised. Asbestos can be found in insulation, roofing materials, flooring, and even in decorative finishes.

The Health Risk
The health risks associated with asbestos exposure are well-documented. When disturbed or damaged, asbestos fibres can become airborne and easily inhaled. Prolonged exposure to these fibres can lead to serious respiratory conditions such as asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. Thus, proper management and handling of asbestos in construction settings are imperative to safeguard the health and well-being of workers and occupants.

At Kadec Asbestos Management, we offer comprehensive solutions for identifying, assessing, and managing asbestos in construction projects. Our team of certified professionals utilises state-of-the-art techniques and equipment to conduct thorough asbestos surveys and risk assessments. By identifying the presence and condition of ACMs, we enable our clients to make informed decisions regarding asbestos management and removal.
