Protecting everyone with Anthrax risk management
Kadec Asbestos Management understands that anthrax contamination poses a unique danger to museums, archives, and heritage organisations as well as the construction industry, particularly Grade Listed Buildings and Ecclesiastical Churches and Cathedrals. Our service covers everything from consultancy, advice, inspections and sampling with independent laboratory analysis. If any potential risks are identified, we can also offer complete stabilisation, removal, decontamination and management of all risks for the future. We bring experienced and specialist knowledge to protect not only your staff; visitors and occupants but also the irreplaceable artefacts in your care.
Our experience with bovine hair-reinforced plaster, ornate covings, historic features, axidermy, animal hides, wool, leather, cushiony padding and ethnographic objects means we can identify risk easily to ensure regulatory compliance and keep your historic collections and buildings accessible and safe. We work closely with you, offering practical solutions when you face anthrax-related challenges to ensure a suitable, simple and safe resolution.
Comprehensive support for Anthrax contaminated collections
We do more than just identify hazards. Our Anthrax services include risk assessments, on-site inspection, sampling and practical guidance for collection handling and building materials as well as emergency response in the event of an incident. We collaborate with specialist independent laboratories for accurate sampling and testing and design proportionate decontamination strategies that respect both safety and preservation. Our consultants commit to transparent communication and practical, evidence-led solutions, so you can manage risks with confidence and minimal disruption.
Why anthrax risk management matters
Anthrax spores can survive in historic materials for decades and regenerate over time, making diligent risk management essential for anyone caring for heritage collections or building fabric. Our approach ensures your team understands how to identify and manage potential risks while keeping your historic collection’s and building's fabric integrity intact and safe. With Kadec Asbestos Management support, you avoid unnecessary closures or restrictions as well as to meet all necessary health and safety requirements without compromising conservation values.
We equip you with the right procedures and confidence to maintain safe, open access to your premises.
