Cant get in the office
« on: 22 June 2007, 10:39:43 »
Currently stuck in a conference room as our office has been sealed.....

I work on the sixth floor of an old office block and this week we had a water leak in the roof.....nothing to unusual but, they found asbestos all round it!

So the whole of the sixth floor is shut!

Blimey! I bet the cat's well and truly amongst the pigeons there!

Still, it's not to be messed with. An ex-colleague of my Father is very ill at the moment due, apparently, to exposure to asbestos, probably circa 40 years ago. He wasn't conscious of exposing himself to anything more hazardous than a hot soldering iron during his career.

Not to big a problem when the asbestos is wet, only when it is dry that it causes nasties.  :y

Me too. These days they announce the schools will close the day before, based on a slightly chilly weather forecast, just in case the boiler breaks!
