I have been involved in health and safety for over 25 years. For 20 of those years I was one of HM Inspectors of Health and Safety - or one of HM Inspectors of Factories as it used to be known – I now provide expert advice on the assessment and control of asbestos risks, particularly within the construction, heavy engineering, manufacturing and services sectors.
