Rainbow International has a clear duty of care to policyholders and customers, to risk assess for asbestos as part of any initial reports. For any removals of asbestos materials that require a licensed contractor – Rainbow International has great relationships with licensed contractors, meaning we can offer a comprehensive asbestos removal service for any situation.
Rainbow International has a number of technicians within the network who are trained to carry out Notifiable Non Licensed Work (NNLW) of asbestos removal. These technicians are required to attend annual training courses, carry a photo card ID and are also regulated under HSE guidelines.
Under NNLW guidelines from CAR12 regulations, we only deal with chrysolite; and not crocidolite or amosite.
Chrysolite (white asbestos) can be found in cement, vinyl or thermoplastic floor tiles, textured coating (i.e artex) and bitumen.
Rainbow International work with bSure, who are experts in tackling the risk of asbestos. Our technicians are trained through their training and accreditation programmes. We also utilise them for technical support, so our technicians can keep up-to-date with legislation, regulations and governance.
bSure also provide the sample testing service – meaning our customers could have samples tested and results back with them within 48 hours – resulting in any scheduled removal, restoration or maintenance work being able to commence without long delays.
The laboratories will be devoted to forensic science so it is imperative that all traces of organic matter are removed.
