UK construction-safety guidance by the Riskora Editorial Team
The reality of asbestos textured coating (artex) removal on a live UK site is that the risks are well known and well documented — and the law expects them to be managed in writing. Disturbing asbestos-containing materials releases respirable fibres that can lodge in lung tissue for decades before causing mesothelioma or asbestosis. On asbestos textured coating (artex) removal, the relevant duty is unambiguous: Removal of asbestos textured coatings is typically NNLW requiring notification to the appropriate enforcing authority. The right RAMS pulls all of this together — the law, the site, the people, the controls — into one document that does the job.

No card required · 1 lifetime safety document · Upgrade when you need more
Removal of asbestos textured coatings is typically NNLW requiring notification to the appropriate enforcing authority. The RAMS must detail the wetting, scraping, and waste containment procedures.
A site supervisor delivering a contract has discovered that the existing template they have been using does not actually cover the activities on the new job — they need a fresh RAMS. In the Riskora builder they choose the right trade preset, remove the hazards that do not apply, add a couple of site-specific entries from the custom hazard library, and save the finished document for distribution to the team. The finished document explicitly addresses dry scraping releasing high concentrations of chrysotile fibres, which the principal contractor would otherwise expect to see written into the pack.
Select your trade, pick your hazards, and generate a structured document — no training required.
