we have just found out that there is asbestos in the roof space at work. the boss says there is someone coming to seal it off and make it safe, with a view to replacing the ceiling at a later date. my question is how safe is safe?
When you said you have found out, is it due to a contractor finding it?
There are many types of asbestos, if it is organic then it is safe to be removed without going through the HSE procedures i.e. asbestos team and a 14 day notice of removal.
as long as it is damaged there is a very low risk. Most of the bad asbestos was removed years ago, well the stuff they could see, so i would doubt it would be high risk.
