Two companies and a site manager have had sentences handed to them after more than 200m2 was exposed to the public: Ali Raza Baig was the site manager responsible for the public asbestos exposure, with failings also attributed to Sohan Group Limited, the client for the project, and Maize Metals Limited, the company contracted for demolition works.

HSE has established that Sohan Group Limited had failed to appoint a principal contractor, while Maize Metals violated health and safety protocols by disturbing the asbestos despite knowing it was there.

19% Drop in Dust & Fume Breaches: A Win for Construction Safety. Encouraging news from the Building Safety Group: Q4 2025 data shows a significant 19% reduction in dust and fume breaches across UK construction sites - proof that proactive safety guidance works.

Why this matters? With approximately 4,000 construction workers dying annually from work-related lung diseases (HSE), effective dust and fume management isn't just regulatory compliance - it's a business imperative.

The business case is clear:

✅ Reduced workforce illness and absenteeism
✅ Lower insurance and compensation costs
✅ Enhanced corporate reputation
✅ Improved project efficiency
✅ Regulatory compliance and reduced prosecution risk

Key Control Measures:

• Local exhaust ventilation systems
• Water suppression (reduces airborne dust by up to 90%)
• Integrated dust extraction equipment
• Proper PPE with mandatory face fit testing

The path forward: This 19% improvement demonstrates that when companies act on expert guidance and prioritise worker health, real change happens. The challenge now is maintaining momentum and driving continuous improvement.

Are you implementing comprehensive dust management strategies on your sites? What's working for your organisation?

Is your groundwork team ready for what's buried beneath?

Most asbestos training misses the mark for groundworkers. Generic awareness courses don't prepare your team for the reality of excavating contaminated soil or discovering buried ACMs mid-project.

That's why we've developed Non-Licensed Asbestos Work Training specifically for groundwork operatives.

What makes it different?

✅ Designed for below-ground scenarios your team actually faces
✅ Practical, role-specific content (not one-size-fits-all theory)
✅ Real-world excavation challenges and unexpected discoveries
✅ Clear guidance on legal compliance
✅ One comprehensive day that builds genuine confidence

The impact on your business: Safe teams. Compliant sites. Projects that keep moving. No costly delays or HSE complications.

When your groundworkers know exactly how to handle asbestos encounters, everyone wins.
