Yep, thats me.
Went to a site today (public building) to install some Network points. Old building so I asked to have a look at the asbestos survey. The site manager couldn't produce the survey becasue they were in the process of moving offices but he assures me that there is no asbestos in the area that i'm working.
Anyway, get to the corridor in question to find some extremely dodgy looking perforated ceiling tiles, the large type difficult to remove because someone had painted over
I decided rather than be a total spoilsport that i'd go and get my respirator from the van, carried on working with respirator on and about 30 mins into job i'm approached by premises manager? (suited type). He asked me if i'd mind not using the respirator because it was concerning some of the staff! I refused and said that I suspected asbestos and that the site manager couldnt produce the asbestos survey. Carried on working and about 5 mins later two site staff came and asked me to leave the site, they proceeded to pick up my tools and walk me to the van.
I contacted the guy who'd booked the job and he told me to consider the work cancelled and not to come back!
Thing is, I need to recover around £400 of cable.
What a **** ing day
