Asbestos Information |
According to the HSE...
Asbestos fibres are present in the environment in Great Britain so people are exposed to very low levels of fibres. However, a key factor in the risk of developing an asbestos-related disease is the total number of fibres breathed in. Working on or near damaged asbestos-containing materials or breathing in high levels of asbestos fibres, which may be many hundreds of times that of environmental levels could increase your chances of getting an asbestos-related disease.
Over 4000 people each year die of asbestos exposure. That is more deaths than in traffic accidents.
That is why we focus on safety at all times.
As a quality Asbestos Management Service provider Health & Safety is a high priority for Godiva Environmental Services, and we see investment in Health & Safety as key to our success and growth in this industry.
As well as having our own in-house personnel and procedures we also use the services of Health & Safety professional advisors to further develop the company systems to meet the growing demands of the industry, and our asbestos teams are conversant with the current legislation.
Training is a key factor in ensuring a competent and professional workforce equipped to meet the challenges of an ever changing industry. As such, the company operates a very active training programme throughout the workforce and we are renowned for our attitude towards safety and our professional approach to all works.
