£1.9m probe launched into asbestos in city buildings

A MAJOR £1.9 million investigation into every council-owned property in Edinburgh is set to be launched in a bid to identify asbestos levels.

The council today admitted its current records are “inadequate”, and do not meet health and safety regulations.

The project is designed to ensure materials that contain asbestos are kept in a safe condition if they pose a minimum risk, or removed if there is an “unacceptable risk” to human health.
