Two companies have been fined after a 16-year-old worker was exposed to asbestos.
He had been breaking up cement sheets from the roof of an outbuilding at a domestic property and putting them into a skip. Asbestos was later found to be in the cement sheets.
An HSE investigation found that Alt Berg Holdings Limited had failed to carry out an asbestos refurbishment and demolition survey of the property, which would have identified the asbestos. P Turnbull Joinery and Building Services Ltd had not properly assessed the work and failed to prevent the worker being exposed to asbestos.
