Our asbestos management services are led by Charles Faulkner, our Head of Environment, Health and Safety in the Middle East. He has over 17 years’ experience within the field of environmental, health and safety and many industry-specific qualifications.
Asbestos is a hazardous and toxic material and, despite being banned in most countries, there is a significant legacy issue within existing buildings and facilities across the world. In some cases asbestos materials are still being used.
Our team can help you to manage these risks appropriately to ensure the safety of your workforce, building occupants and the general public. We have the capacity to provide a wide range of asbestos materials management services to mitigate the health and safety, legal and financial risks that may be presented by hazardous materials.

Asbestos Use in The Middle East
Asbestos has been used commercially in the Middle East since the 1960s. The increase in oil and gas exploration within the region at this time led to a rise in the increase in construction and infrastructure projects, which in turn led to an increased asbestos consumption.
At one point in time, the Middle East consumed 20 percent of all of the asbestos produced globally.
As well as the continued legacy issue within existing buildings and facilities, and despite being banned throughout much of the region, there is evidence that asbestos is still being used in new construction projects.
