However, the steel included several pipe work systems covered in lagging containing potentially-dangerous asbestos fibres, which were removed by workers without the firm putting any measures in place to prevent the spread of asbestos fibres. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) today told Teesside Magistrates' Court how inspectors visited the site on February 22, last year following a complaint from a worker at a neighbouring premises. Inspectors saw Baxketh Ltd directors Michael Almond Senior and Michael Almond Junior on the site, with a significant amount of pipe work and damaged insulation scattered on the ground. Almond Jnr was operating a mechanical excavator with a grab to move steel work from the ground into a skip. A Prohibition Notice was served on Baxketh Ltd to prevent further work.
