Window replacement company fined after works at a school
A window replacement company has been fined after it exposed workers to potentially fatal asbestos material during work to replace window units at a school.
The contractor informed the school that asbestos panels would be removed by registered contractors and disposed of in the correct manner over the school summer holidays in 2012.
However, Bury St Edmunds Magistrates’ Court was told the company was not licensed to work with asbestos. Furthermore, employees undertaking the work were not told they would be handling asbestos, nor did they use any control measures to prevent the spread of fibres.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) investigated after being alerted both by FCDL employees and the school’s headteacher.
