Smaller businesses in UK without plan

A survey by Zurich Risk Services (ZRS) shows that three-quarters of the UK’s smaller businesses have no risk management plans for dealing with asbestos. A high proportion of their premises were built in the 1920s and 1930s when asbestos was in common use. Even in larger companies with a turnover between £1mn and £20mn less than two-thirds have active asbestos management schemes.
