Asbestos

Asbestos One of the more disturbing features of surveying in the 1980s is the everincreasing number of building materials, structural systems and working practices that have been labelled hazardous or unhealthy. Although consumerism and melodramatic media coverage have fuelled much of this, it must not be forgotten that business interests may be behind many of the campaigns allowing disinformation or exaggeration to discredit competitors. Fortunes have been made by some firms from exploiting the public's fears and offering specialist remedies covered by dubious guarantees. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Structural Survey Emerald Publishing

Abstract

One of the more disturbing features of surveying in the 1980s is the everincreasing number of building materials, structural systems and working practices that have been labelled hazardous or unhealthy. Although consumerism and melodramatic media coverage have fuelled much of this, it must not be forgotten that business interests may be behind many of the campaigns allowing disinformation or exaggeration to discredit competitors. Fortunes have been made by some firms from exploiting the public's fears and offering specialist remedies covered by dubious guarantees.
