Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council has been fined after
sending an employee to deal with a water leak in a housing complex
without warning him asbestos was present.
HSE prosecuted the council after it failed to warn the trained
plumber that asbestos was present at a sheltered accommodation
complex, despite possessing a survey detailing where it was.
