Our specialist asbestos and hazardous materials testing and inspection company, Lucion Services Ltd, has secured a position on Procurement Services’ Framework Agreement for Asbestos Inspection and Removal Services.
With an estimated 1.5 million UK buildings still containing asbestos and approximately 5,000 asbestos-related deaths annually in Britain, this framework represents a vital step in managing one of the UK’s most significant workplace health challenges.
First used extensively during Britain’s industrial revolution and continuing until its complete ban in 1999, asbestos remains present in countless schools, hospitals, social housing and public buildings constructed before 2000.
The newly released asbestos four-year framework will enable us to provide comprehensive asbestos management solutions to public sector organisations across the UK, including but not limited to local authorities, educational settings, emergency services, NHS trusts, and housing associations.
