Anthrax Testing FAQ

Anthrax is a serious infectious disease caused by bacteria. It can be life-threatening if humans come into contact with infected animals or contaminated products. Anthrax can enter the human body through inhalation, ingestion, or open cuts and wounds.

Anthrax can be found in building materials such as plaster, metals, paint samples, and soils. It is estimated to be a present contaminant in millions of buildings throughout the UK, where animal-containing products have been used during the building process, including in lime-based plasters.

Before commencing any refurbishment or demolition works, it is imperative to conduct an anthrax test to ensure individuals are protected from possible life-threatening exposure. Our team of Environmental Surveyors and Analysts conduct anthrax testing and sampling nationwide.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) states that employers should take steps to control the potential hazardous risks of anthrax exposure by implementing a system to Assess, Control, and Review. Our team can help you meet these responsibilities and ensure compliance with regulations.

We offer comprehensive anthrax testing services, including sampling, risk assessment, and consultancy. By working with our expert team, you can proactively identify and address anthrax risks, ensure compliance with regulations, and protect the health and safety of your employees, tenants, and the public.
