Asbestos-relateddiseases are responsible

for over 3,000 deaths

a year in the UK.

Make no mistake aboutit - the law takes asbestos

management very seriously.

If youre in control of any business premises,

your legal requirements include:Establishing if asbestos

is on the premises

a risk management plan

location and condition of asbestosand presumed asbestos materials

We have found dealing with NFU

Mutual and the Risk Management

Services department extremely

beneficial to our business. A

representative has sat in on

internal committee meetings

and their input has been both

valuable and well received. Wehave continued to improve our

Health & Safety performance

since they have been involved

using their proactive approach.
