[QUOTE="Andy_Dandy, post: 423467, member: 27948"] Hi Guys, Thank you so much Essex1, Evans Electric, Sharpend, Canoeboy, switch10, rapparee, binky, Revved Up Sparky, Blue Duck, SLIPSHOD & SLAPDASH, M107, ProDave, Tony S, Rob_the_rich, steptoe, Sidewinder, apprentice87, kerching, MysticalGandy for sharing your knowledge. Thank you for your life saving replies!!! Today we went to start a new project. I requested an asbestos survey and I did't follow the instruction which involved disturbing the area which typically made of ACM. Boss said that he will inquire for the asbestos survey and also was quiet about my refusal to follow his instruction. The asbestos management survey report was provided the same day - no asbestos. It wasn't an R&D report but since the work was completed in trunking in areas accessed by the public it looked quite sufficient plus just in case I used premium quality P3 face mask all day long. Also I called the company which completed the survey and had a word with them. They said that we would be fine. We have handful of employees in the company and I surprised that they never voiced asbestos concerns despite the fact that they received awareness training as well as non-licensed asbestos removal training long time ago while working for previous employers. Until everybody in the company will ask about asbestos survey there will be no progress. Backed by your replies I had one on one conversations with my colleagues to make sure that they will step over their fear and mentioned the 'A' word every time they start a new project.
