From the 1930s to the 1980s, asbestos was widely used in the construction industry. During the 1990s, however, concerns began to be raised about its potential health impact. This led to asbestos being banned in the UK (and many other countries).

Now, if asbestos is found in a building, it is standard practice to remove it. This is not (yet) a legal requirement but is considered a wise precaution for both legal and generally safety reasons.

== Why remove asbestos? ==

The fundamental reason for removing asbestos is that it is now linked with severe health issues, including lung cancer and mesothelioma. There are other reasons that are linked to this. For example, if it is known that there is asbestos in a property, that fact must be declared to any potential buyer

At a minimum, this is likely to reduce the level of interest in a property. At worst, it could render the property unsellable.

== Why use professional asbestos removing services? ==

There are various reasons to seek professional advice for asbestos removal, and to explain further, [https://flameuk.co.uk/waste-collections/asbestos-removal/ Flame UK] share their expertise on why you should consider [https://flameuk.co.uk/waste-collections/asbestos-removal/ outsourcing professional advice].

=== Peace of mind ===

In simple terms, if a property needs any sort of serious work done to it, it is not enough just to do the work. You need to be able to demonstrate that the work was done to an appropriate standard. As a rule of thumb, the term “serious work” can be taken to refer to anything that affects a property’s health and safety. Asbestos removal certainly falls into that category.

Firstly, the asbestos itself has to be removed completely in a way that keeps everyone safe during the process. Everyone means not just the normal residents of the home and the workers but also anyone that could potentially be in the vicinity of the removal site.

Secondly, the asbestos has to be disposed of correctly. To a certain extent, this is true of all waste. The disposal of asbestos, however, is covered by particularly stringent regulations as it is classed as a hazardous material.

This means that the asbestos will need to be taken to a waste-disposal location that has the proper facilities to handle it. It will also need to be transported there in a highly secure manner.

Furthermore, all of this will need to be properly documented so your compliance with all relevant rules is beyond dispute.

Using professional asbestos removal services not only ensures that all this is done but also means that you will have credible records of it being done. In other words, your defence to any legal claim would not just be your word. You would have the backing of a respected third party.

=== Time and cost efficiency ===

Any form of serious work is a disruption to the normal operation of a building, be it residential or commercial. Any form of disruption takes up time and hence money. Using professional services tends to minimise this disruption. This is likely to be particularly true of professional asbestos removal services as they require highly specialised knowledge and tools.

== Considerations for removing asbestos ==

If you’re still weighing up your options for asbestos removal, here are the five key factors you should consider.

=== Training and experience ===

The handling of hazardous substances such as asbestos is highly regulated. This means that anyone dealing with it must have a full and up-to-date understanding of the regulations and compliance requirements associated with asbestos removal.

They must also have in-depth knowledge of proper handling and removal techniques. In particular, they need to be familiar with the specific precautions needed to minimise the release of asbestos fibres into the air during the removal process.

Professional asbestos removal services ensure that their staff undergo full training before they start on the job. In the real world, however, training is generally only a starting point. It is built on by experience. This is why, in the world of work, new staff, even fully-trained ones, are usually supervised by more experienced workers.

=== Tools and equipment ===

Handling asbestos will always require the very highest grades of personal protective equipment (PPE). Some of this may require training to use. It will also typically require the use of specialist equipment to remove the asbestos.

The specific choice of equipment will depend partly on the specifics of the removal environment. There are, however, some general considerations that apply to all asbestos-removal situations.

For example, one major consideration is the need to ensure that asbestos fibres do not disperse into the air during the removal process. This can be prevented by dampening or sealing the asbestos before removal.

Another consideration is the need to contain the asbestos safely between its removal from the property and its arrival at the disposal facility.

=== Effective risk assessment ===

Asbestos is one of the most hazardous substances known to humanity. It is therefore vital to undertake a thorough and effective risk assessment before starting to remove it. This risk assessment will inform the safety precautions taken during the removal process.

=== Safety precautions ===

The risk assessment will show what safety precautions need to be taken. There is, however, a significant difference between theoretical knowledge and practical implementation. In fact, there’s a strong case for arguing that badly-implemented safety precautions are worse than no safety precautions at all. This is because they create a false sense of security.

=== Proper documentation ===

It really is impossible to overstate the importance of properly documenting the asbestos-removal process from end to end (i.e., up to and including the disposal of the asbestos).

The law is notoriously expensive, and claims related to the disposal of asbestos can be some of the most expensive of all. Furthermore, insurance may not protect you if there is any suspicion of wrongdoing on your part. This could include failure to create appropriate documentation of the removal process.

Quite simply, the cost of hiring professional asbestos removal services is likely to be minimal in comparison to the potential risks of having a claim brought against you. This is true even if the claim simply relates to irregularities in the disposal process rather than a health-related claim.

Disposing of construction waste

2022-09-28T14:43:18Z

FlameUK:

= Introduction =

We are all used to having a line of bins in our back gardens to help us sort and dispose of our waste properly. We are happy to separate our cardboard from our glass and our garden waste in a domestic setting, and it has now become second nature to us at home, but in the construction industry there is still some work to be done in order to achieve these same level of diligence.

Construction businesses know that they need to dispose of their waste, and most have some sort of system in place, but how often is this reviewed? The big question that construction companies now need to ask themselves is not whether they are disposing of waste but are they doing it correctly.

= Waste in construction =

The construction industry is a huge producer of waste. It comes in many forms, but materials such as plastic are prevalent amongst this. We are now all aware of how difficult it can be to break down certain materials such as this, so if we are to avoid them having a negative impact on the environment, then they need to be disposed of properly.

Whilst many businesses now face levies for their use of plastic and are actually trying to cut it down, statistics have shown that the construction industry has actually increased its plastic waste output by more than 45% in just a two-year period. In addition to this, total wastage of all materials from the construction industry also increased by 2.23% over a four-year period.

As one of the biggest producers of plastic waste, the construction industry is now being forced to take a careful look at what it does with this if it is to avoid simply filling up landfill sites, shipping it overseas to countries such as China or dumping it into the oceans.

= Construction waste disposal =

It is now down to construction companies to take a look at the waste that they are producing and look at how to dispose of it both correctly and responsibly. Any recyclable material needs to be identified and separated from the rest of your waste. It is no longer acceptable to bunch all waste together and wave goodbye to it when so much can be broken down and reused.

This means that everyone on site needs a workable strategy to allow them to do this, and sensible, managed areas where different types of waste can be stored without creating a hazard.

When it comes to construction waste management, your first thought should always be how you can reduce it. Look at ordering processes and packaging options to ensure that you do not have a site filled with materials that will never be used, and packaging that is difficult to get rid of.

If you can cut down what comes onto your site, it becomes much easier to reduce what you have to get rid of again. This is not only beneficial when it comes to reducing waste but in reducing costs too, so it can help your business in more than one way.

When you do deal with your waste, you need to make sure that you are declaring it properly. A transfer note should show that you have considered the waste hierarchy before disposing of it in order to avoid being subject to fines and penalties.

Not all construction waste is easy to dispose of, and there are many different protocols that you need to be aware of. Materials such as paint and asbestos as well as other hazardous materials all need special processes which are detailed in the EWC codes. These classify waste into different categories in order for them to be correctly and efficiently recorded and monitored. When your waste is properly marked, it can then be disposed of in the correct way.

Construction waste disposal not only needs the right materials to be identified, but the right equipment to deal with it as well. Skips and bins allow sites to effectively separate waste in large quantities in order to avoid the need to sort it when it is time for disposal, therefore saving both time and money. A baler can also help to manage waste on site and reduce the cost of transporting it.

Employing the services of a waste management company can seem like an additional cost but it is a great way to ensure that everything is done properly. When you have to consider general waste, hazardous waste and recyclable waste, it is important that it is all handled in the right way, and a company who specialise in this can make the process much easier.

= The benefits of correct waste disposal =

The most obvious benefit of disposing of your construction waste correctly is the avoidance of any fines. Failure to dispose of any materials, but particularly hazardous ones, comes with some harsh penalties attached to it which can be very damaging for your business.

We all now have to take some responsibility for the world that we live in and the state that we leave it in. All forms of industry have to play a part in this and disposing of the copious amounts of waste created by the construction industry is part of your corporate responsibility.

Many businesses are now looking for reputable and responsible companies to work with in their construction projects, not only for their image, but also for their cost base too, so it can help you to vie for competition too.

Waste management is not the most exciting subject, but it is an essential one in the construction industry. As one of the largest producers of waste in the world, it is important to now take the impact of construction seriously and work together to make sure that waste is handled in the right way.

There are now waste management services available who can help you to achieve this, taking away many of the headaches that a necessary waste strategy can produce, making sure that your business is responsible, sustainable and within the law with every project that it embarks upon.

Construction industry waste and the environment

2022-09-28T14:41:31Z

FlameUK:

Construction is one of the most important business sectors in the world. Traditionally, it’s also been one of the most polluting business sectors in the world. Over recent years, however, the construction industry has been taking steps to deal with this. Hopefully, this process of improvement will not only continue but pick up speed.

= Types of construction waste =

Construction waste can generally be divided into three main categories:

* Inert waste is mostly based on earth, sand, or stone. Typical examples of inert construction waste include aggregates, bricks, concrete, glass, masonry blocks, plaster, plastic, rocks, sand, soil, and tiles.
* Non-inert waste is waste that is capable of some form of reaction while not being particularly dangerous in itself. Typical examples of non-inert construction waste include cardboard, drywall, gypsum, metals, paper, and wood.
* Hazardous waste is waste that can pose a serious threat to human health. This type of waste also tends to pose the highest risk to the environment. Typical examples of hazardous construction waste include acids, explosives, and paints/varnishes.

= Environmental issues created by construction waste =

The specific issues created by construction waste depend largely on what specific category of construction waste it is. With inert construction waste, the main direct problem tends to be its sheer volume.

In many cases, its weight doesn’t help either. This increases the amount of fuel needed to transport it to its next destination. Hopefully, this is a recycling point as many types of inert construction waste have low biodegradability. This means that if they end up in a landfill, they can stay there for a very long time.

With inert construction waste, volume can still be an issue. In some cases, the lack of biodegradability is very definitely still an issue. Plastic, for example, is notorious for its inability to biodegrade. Unless it can be recycled or disposed of by some other means (e.g., incineration), it will last more or less forever. Non-inert waste also tends to bring other hazards. For example, paper and cardboard are both highly flammable.

Hazardous waste literally by definition is highly dangerous. Again, the specific danger it poses typically depends on the specific type of waste it is. In general, however, the main hazard is that of dispersal or leakage. If the waste is not properly controlled, it can contaminate natural resources such as air, soil, and water. It may also lead to a reaction if touched. Some hazardous waste is also flammable.

= The specific problems of using landfill sites =

At present, businesses are not, technically, forced to send materials to recycling instead of landfill. It does, however, make sense for them to do so as much as they can. The most obvious reason for this is that waste sent to landfill is subject to a special tax, generally known as the landfill tax. This tax was specifically created to create an economic incentive for businesses to seek other ways to dispose of their waste.

Another key reason is that the public in general tends to disapprove strongly of businesses using landfill when there are practical alternatives. There are many reasons why landfill sites are hugely unpopular. Firstly, they take up valuable space. Secondly, they become a literal dumping ground for materials that could be reused. Thirdly, they are unsightly, can be smelly and may attract vermin. Fourthly, they can be actively dangerous.

When organic waste is sent to a landfill, it decomposes. This creates gas, particularly methane. These gases can be bad for the environment. For example, methane is known to contribute to climate change. They can also be hazardous to humans. For example, methane is known to be highly combustible.

= Other issues caused by construction waste =

Construction waste can also easily become a health-and-safety hazard. For example, piles of construction waste can become obstructions. Avoiding these obstructions can lead to collisions possibly between people and vehicles. Flammable construction waste is a clear fire hazard.

It can also become a security risk. Waste-storage containers are bulky and can create large shadows. These can render CCTV useless. They may even provide cover to conceal an intruder.

= Your legal responsibilities regarding construction waste =

In a nutshell, all businesses are responsible for the safe disposal of any and all waste they generate. Businesses can delegate tasks but cannot delegate accountability for their completion. In other words, businesses can outsource the disposal of their waste. If, however, the out sourcer does not complete the task properly, the business will be held accountable for its failures.

Businesses also have a duty of care towards their workers, and therefore construction waste management is critical. This means that all workers who come into contact with construction waste need to have proper training on how to handle it. This includes how to categorise it and what process to follow to dispose of it (and/or store it prior to disposal).

= Other steps you can take to reduce the impact of construction waste =

The less waste you generate, the less waste you need to manage. With that in mind, here are some tips on how you can reduce construction waste. These may also help to save you some money.

== Only buy what you need ==

Take the time to go through the project brief thoroughly and only buy what you need. It’s fine to buy a little extra to allow for product damage and/or the impact of shipping delays. You should not, however, be buying significant extra quantities of materials. Instead, you should be carefully managing both your inventory and your security.

== Manage your inventory and security ==

In principle, all you should need to do is keep an accurate and up-to-date record of what you have bought and what you have used. Then you should always know what you have and what you need (and by when). In practice, theft is an issue on construction sites. You, therefore, need to manage your security so you retain what you buy.

== Reuse, repurpose and recycle as much as you can ==

Some construction waste can be reused on other construction projects. Even when it can’t, it may still be able to serve another useful purpose. In fact, you might be able to find someone willing to buy it off you. You can certainly expect people to take some of it for free. Wood pallets, for example, are hugely popular amongst DIY'ers, up-cyclers and crafters.
