Asbestos Insurance

Asbestos Insurance liability is an essential cover if you are in the business of demolition and removal. It provides protection against bodily injury, illness and death and property damage resulting from any asbestos activity. It extends to cover the business for clean up in the event of a contamination and the resultant damage from such event.

Asbestos

It is a mineral known for its heat resistance and strength, used in insulation and fireproofing. Numerous industries, including manufacturing, automotive, and construction, employ asbestos. Products include wallboard, drywall, paint, cement, insulation, and roofing. Asbestos is a product that is on the decline of use and is more often found in older buildings and dwellings. Inhaling asbestos fibers can lead to serious health problems including cancers like mesothelioma and lung cancer as well has non cancerous conditions like asbestosis and pleural disease. The fibres can be inhaled and become trapped in lungs. It can take years (sometimes decades) for any symptoms to develop after exposure.

Demolition

Demolition of buildings and property often disturbs asbestos-containing materials, risking harmful exposure. Asbestos insurance covers costs like safe removal, legal claims, and regulatory fines. Give protection against liabilities from health risks and compliance issues during demolition.

Clean Up

Cleaning up of asbestos requires specialised procedures to prevent hazardous exposure. Relying on asbestos insurance helps to cover costs for safe removal, disposal, and potential legal claims. It secures against financial and legal hazards while cleaning up asbestos.

Contamination

Contamination from released asbestos fibres poses serious health and environmental risks. Asbestos insurance covers cleanup costs, legal claims, and regulatory fines. It offers protection from financial and legal obligations brought on by asbestos exposure. An example of contamination: A roofing company out to do maintenance work on a domestic property has a worker accidentally put their foot through the roof which caused dust, debris and particles to enter the home. Asbestos was present in the roofing material and as a result of this the whole house needed to be decontaminated which involved residents needing to be rehomed for the period and extensive clean up.

Make Safe

By compensating paid professional cleanup and disposal expenses, asbestos insurance ensures the safe handling and removal of asbestos. It lowers health risks by encouraging adherence to safety requirements. It also guards against liabilities resulting from mishaps or inappropriate handling.
