A landlord and building contractor have been prosecuted after workers were exposed to large quantities of asbestos fibres at a rented property in Selly Oak, Birmingham.
The Health & Safety Executive (HSE) took legal action against landlord Wah Kei Dany Ng of Penns Lane, Sutton Coldfield and building contractor Jasvir Singh Sangha of Tunnel Road, West Bromwich, after asbestos fibres were released from the demolition of a conservatory at the property.
Birmingham Magistrates’ Court heard how the landlord commissioned a building contractor to replace a conservatory containing asbestos panels at the rented house in August 2017. Asbestos was spread as the panels were removed in a haphazard and uncontained way.
