Before Carrying out any Refurbishment or Demolition Works

Refurbishment or Demolition Works

  • Ask premises owners for their records of asbestos; what was checked, what was found, and what was not checked.
  • If there is no record and you have reason to suspect asbestos, ask for an asbestos survey to be done before accepting the contract.       ( This is now law in Ireland)
  • Seek advice from a specialist asbestos contractor.
  • When you seek advice, ensure that the person providing the advice is competent.
  • If asbestos-containing material needs replacement, the replacement must be asbestos-free.
