TRU Demolition, part of the TRU7 Group, has responded after local news reports revealed it had been issued with the notice by the Health and Safety Executive due to asbestos concerns.
The notice was served on September 26 and the company was given 21 days to comply with the necessary changes.
Health and Safety Executive says the company “failed to prevent, or where this is not reasonably practicable, reduce to the lowest level reasonably possible the spread of asbestos, as you do not have at least eight changes per hour in a live enclosure, where asbestos removal work was ongoing.”
The company, a member of the National Federation of Demolition Contractors, has responded with a statement that reads:
“Tru Demolition can confirm that the Health and Safety Executive visited one of our sites on 26 September as part of a routine inspection. A Prohibition Notice was issued relating to airflow levels within a single asbestos enclosure. This is a technical matter, and we emphasise that no evidence of unsafe working practices or asbestos exposure was found.
Work was immediately paused, and corrective measures implemented the same day to exceed regulatory airflow requirements. Independent air monitoring has consistently shown the company operating within control limits, confirming there was no risk to colleagues or the public.
We continue to work closely with the HSE and accredited specialists to maintain the highest standards of safety and compliance across all Tru Demolition projects.”
