Health & Safety – Brock End RTM Company Ltd

Fire Risk and Health and Safety Assessments

1. Asbestos

An asbestos survey is not required for Croft House, Newport House and Southwich House as they were constructed post 2000. The company has not received evidence of asbestos surveys from the previous managing agent in respect of Betjemen House and Viletts House and have therefore commissioned professional surveys for both buildings. No asbestos was found to be present in either building and there is therefore thought to be no asbestos on the site.
