The 2nd July 2019 sees NORAC having its AGM and the agenda is looking great.
Members and Non-members are welcome.
Included is:
An alternative to UKAS Accreditation - this will be very interesting,
A talk entitled "The asbestos industry is doomed, unless..." by me!

[Omega Asbestos @OmegaAsbestos]

I need talented asbestos surveyors and analysts. Regional growth in Scotland and the Northeast. Other regions too. Are you happy? Perhaps Omega could make you happier? Worth a chat?

Very interesting article here about an old (1938) organ strongly presumed to be contaminated.

Quoted sampling cost to confirm/refute as £250 per pipe. There’s 6241 pipes. So £1.5m for sampling.

Versus £60k for disposal.

A DEADLY FIND.
Appears to be all under control.
But the papers will jazz it up with a strong headline. All the more reason to always have your ducks in a row when it comes to asbestos. https://t.co/cjSrlOQxFD

Great article in New York Times about Asbestos in Johnson’s Baby Powder. Corruption galore? https://t.co/SF9R4VxmB5

Excellent marketing here. New company offers to replace J&J talc with their corn starch based alternative which guarantees no asbestos.

Talc + Asbestos on your bits. No thanks.
Bin all talc. https://t.co/n4r4Yy0qIw

No excuse at all but often people instruct very last minute surveys with asbestos being an afterthought, then put undue pressure for verbal findings on the day.

Another interesting talc article.
I still won’t use talc. Plenty evidence to prove there’s asbestos in it and standard testing isn’t 100% reliable.
