Issues around asbestos removal works in lofts and attics

Issues around asbestos removal works in lofts and attics

In this episode Neil and Ian discuss points surrounding the risks and highlight points to consider when undertaking asbestos removal works within lofts.

Points to consider:

  • Occupants below
  • Decanting during the works or for longer periods, issues the client faces for rehousing office workers
  • Risks carrying out the work
  • Working tethers
  • Fall arrest systems
  • Restrictions in gaining access e.g. if the tether is to the main beam how can they reach the sides of the apex
  • Working platforms and boarding out the lofts
  • Gaining access to the pitch in the loft space – towers in the loft
  • Fall arrest requirements below I netting? Can be negated by use of tethers to tools and equipment
  • Issues around if there is a breach how can this be contained, and the rooms cleaned?
  • Will the area be asbestos free at the end of the works?
  • Depends on voids – can they be fully cleaned
  • Can all surfaces be cleaned or will they need encapsulating?
  • How any asbestos remaining may affect the future works e.g. fixing into the ceiling?
