Remediation work on leaky buildings is exposing workers to biocontaminants from the deteriorated building materials inside the walls. Recent research highlights the importance of always following good health and safety procedures.
Leaking buildings are a health risk, both for occupiers and for builders carrying out repairs. A variety of measures must be taken to help make remedial work safe.
Careful thought must be put in to remediating a leaky building, even before work begins. From handling anxious clients to the extra safety issues these projects can pose, builders need to educate themselves about the potential obstacles.
