What is asbestos and why is it a problem?

Large amounts of asbestos were used in new and refurbished buildings before 2000. Usage began to decline in the 1970s and blue asbestos (crocidolite) had a voluntary ban in 1970. Blue and brown (amosite) asbestos were banned by law in 1985. Uses of white asbestos (chrysotile) were banned in1999. Everything else, and most second hand supply (except for very high performance materials) was banned by 2000.

A large number of premises still contain some form of asbestos. Workers most likely to come into contact with asbestos-containing products are those in the construction, maintenance, refurbishment and related trades.

When asbestos materials are damaged or disturbed they can release dangerous fibers which, if breathed in, can cause serious diseases. Around 4000 people in Great Britain die every year from asbestos related diseases making asbestos the single greatest cause of work related deaths.

CTS is proud to support the "send2some1cold" Campaign.

Best Western Hotels has teamed up with Shelter, the housing and homelessness charity, to help keep families snug and secure this winter.

A decent home is something many of us take for granted. But hundreds of thousands of people in Britain are trapped in housing that’s cold, damp, or squalid.

It's early days but with the severe weather of this winter our timing is perfect. It’s the coldest winter in around 100 years according to the news and so if you care ‘send2some1cold’.
