Before its dangers were made known, asbestos was used extensively as an insulating material & strengthening agent in building products.
Asbestos is now strictly regulated as exposure to this toxic material can now be directly and scientifically linked to a number of lung and respiratory conditions including mesothelioma (a type of cancer that develops from the thin layer of tissue that covers many of the internal organs).
Today, asbestos is classified as a known human carcinogen (a substance that promotes the formation of cancer). As asbestos fibres are typically quite rigid, they become lodged in the soft internal tissue of the respiratory system and is not expelled or broken down by the body.
Being a regulated hazardous material, only registered asbestos contractors can safely remove and dispose of this material after following the correct procedures, going on the required training and registering each job with the department of labour.
C2C Holdings is a registered asbestos contractor and therefore our clients can have peace of mind that the removal is taking place according to the correct regulations.
