In response to the Environmental Services Association's (ESA) New Bonded Asbestos Guidance, Fenchurch Insurance Brokers are highlighting their insurance solutions for the asbestos removal industry. The ESA's guidelines, developed in collaboration with landfill operators, emphasise a comprehensive approach to safely transport and dispose of bonded asbestos, particularly in the disposal of Bonded Asbestos (Cement).
Understanding the dangers associated with asbestos removal, Fenchurch Insurance Brokers offers insurance solutions tailored to the specific needs of asbestos removal professionals. Asbestos, a hazardous substance with severe health risks, necessitates a 'high-risk' categorisation in the removal trade. Fenchurch stands ready to offer industry-specific coverage, ensuring comprehensive protection in the event of accidents.
The ESA's commitment to upholding the highest standards in health and safety, environmental protection, and regulatory compliance aligns with Fenchurch's dedication to safeguarding asbestos removal operations. With ESA member companies managing approximately 180,000 tons per annum of cement asbestos waste, Fenchurch acknowledges the important role these companies play in setting industry standards, adhering to legislation, and leading with best practices.
Asbestos fibres pose severe health risks, potentially leading to fatal lung diseases and cancers. Proper handling, transportation, and disposal of bonded asbestos (cement) are essential to mitigate these risks. Fenchurch Insurance Brokers reinforces the importance of disposing of bonded asbestos at fully permitted facilities. Moreover, Fenchurch's tailored insurance solutions not only address the unique risks associated with bonded asbestos but also cover potential hazards from contaminated items such as building materials, tools, and personal protective equipment (PPE).
Jamie Coyne, Director at Fenchurch Insurance Brokers, commented, “ We know the dangers of asbestos and the risks that come alongside it. By following the ESA Guidelines, we're proud to say that our insurance solutions can safeguard those in the industry, making sure they feel secure and protected at work.”
By choosing Fenchurch Insurance Brokers, professionals in the asbestos removal industry can rest assured that their operations are backed by reliable, industry-specific coverage. Fenchurch remains committed to supporting the industry's compliance with new guidance, ensuring safety, and contributing to the overall well-being of both workers and the environment.
