GGF Launches Asbestos Awareness Publication

GGF Launches Asbestos Awareness Publication

If poorly managed, asbestos removal can leave householders and those removing asbestos materials with serious health problems. This brochure aims to inform homeowners on the facts, risks and correct procedures of dealing with asbestos.

Phil Pinnington, Health, Safety and Facilities Manager, commented: ‘This guide aims to raise the awareness that asbestos is often present in domestic settings. By improving awareness homeowners are more informed as to why GGF Member companies are well placed to help manage its control and disposal if necessary ‘

If asbestos is suspected and work is being carried out that could disturb the material, you are advised to seek advice from a competent assessor. The Glass and Glazing Federation cannot promote the work of individual assessors, however we would recommend customers discuss the matter with a GGF Member company.

This publication is available from MyGlazing.com for free download here, or purchase from the GGF Shop here.
