Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in construction during the 20th century. Its unique properties such as durability, heat resistance, and insulation made it a popular material in the construction of buildings, insulation, and electrical components. However, over the years, it has become clear that exposure to asbestos presents significant health risks. Asbestos can cause a range of respiratory illnesses including asbestosis, mesothelioma, and lung cancer.

Due to the potential health hazards associated with asbestos exposure, the UK government introduced legislation in the 1980s to regulate the use of asbestos. The legislation required all buildings built before 2000 to undergo an asbestos survey to determine the presence of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). If ACMs are identified, the building owner has a legal obligation to ensure that they are removed or safely managed.
