Vintec helps London school to manage asbestos
Published:  09 February, 2010

Shocking statistics such as 178 teachers dying from mesotheliomain in the last 25 years – one of the most aggressive forms of cancer linked to asbestos exposure – puts asbestos testing and management at the top of most schools health and safety list.

Schools and colleges currently have a legal responsibility to manage the presence of undamaged asbestos, rather than risk damaging it by removal, and provide proof of regular inspection.

An original Grade 2 listed building, St Mary’s School, Hampstead has been established since 1926 and use Vintec Labs for all of their asbestos testing requirements.

Charlotte Hall, Bursar at St Mary’s comments: “Vintec carry out our regular surveys and emergency call outs. I also use them on an advisory level.

“I know I am going to speak to or see somebody I know at Vintec. This is a huge reassurance as they are familiar with the school and buildings. They also work under minimal supervision on site which leaves me to spend my time more constructively.

“We have had a few emergency call outs and questions when drilling into walls to put things like white boards up. Vintec have been very responsive, arriving within hours.

“Vintec are reliable, professional, approachable, thorough and responsive. They meet our needs in every way.”

Vintec Environmental Management provides analytical asbestos testing to ensure your establishment is free from the dangers of asbestos and compliant with UK health and safety regulations.
