Health & Safety

Our commitment to safe working on every site, every time.

Our Approach

Safety Is Non-Negotiable

Working with asbestos-containing materials requires strict adherence to current health and safety legislation. Every member of our installation team receives comprehensive training covering the safe removal, packaging, and disposal of asbestos cement materials.

We don't cut corners. Our procedures have been developed over more than 30 years and are updated regularly to reflect current guidance from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and SEPA.

CSCS Certified
CITB Certified
SEPA Approved

Important: Never attempt to disturb or remove asbestos-containing roof sheets yourself. Always use a trained, certified professional.

Team Training Covers

Asbestos awareness and identification
Safe removal techniques and procedures
Correct packaging and sealing of waste

On-Site Protocols

What We Do On Every Job

These are the standard procedures followed on every asbestos removal job — without exception.

5-Metre Exclusion Zone

Before work begins, we cordon off a minimum 5-metre perimeter around the work area using warning tape and A-board signs to alert anyone approaching.

Full PPE at All Times

Every operative wears a respiratory mask rated for asbestos fibres, full-body protective clothing, and appropriate footwear — throughout the entire removal process.

Polythene Wrapping & Sealing

All removed asbestos sheets are carefully wrapped in the required polythene sheeting and fully sealed before being moved from the site — no loose sheets ever leave unsecured.

H-Type Vacuum Clean

After the roof is reinstated, any residual asbestos traces on the site are removed using an H-type (HEPA) vacuum — the only type approved for asbestos decontamination.

SEPA-Licensed Disposal

All asbestos waste is transported to and disposed of at a SEPA-licensed facility. We provide you with full disposal documentation as required under Scottish environmental law.

Full Documentation

Risk assessments and method statements are prepared for every job — essential for commercial sites, housing associations, and any managed property.

Certifications

The Only Certifications That Matter

We are the UK's only CSCS & CITB certified concrete garage manufacturer with fully qualified and insured staff. Our asbestos awareness certifications are renewed regularly — not left to expire.

When you hire us, you can be confident that every person on your site has the training and certification to be there.

Asbestos awareness — regularly renewed, never lapsed
