East Cowes Sailing Club The club draws attention to the members that although not tested the roof and west gable of the south store is most certainly asbestos.
The club instructs for the safety of the members that no work or interference that may cause damage the roof and gable sheeting be attempted.
At this time there appears to be no damage. If any member should notice any future damage they should report it to the Rear Commodore House or a committee member, straight away.
A visual inspection of the club has been carried out and, other than the above, there were no other obvious asbestos.
However if any member undertaking repairs or maintenance on the club premises comes across what they suspect maybe asbestos they are to:
- Stop work altogether
- Report the matter to Rear Commodore House or a committee member, straight away in order to allow the material to be tested and the appropriate action taken
- Do not attempt to remove any materials
ECSC brings attention to the members that no work to asbestos can be undertaken other than by a licensed contractor.
