I am currently carrying out a PIR on a large commercial garage. There are 6 old 3 phase boards, 2 of which I have tested without problem (english electric red spot) but upon unscrewing and opening the doors on the others they have turned out to be the type with the white woven asbestos pads at the back of the fuses. After realising they were a bit crumbly, I thought better of disturbing them, and have told the owner of the premises to see about getting the asbestos removed.
Would it be acceptable for me to then return at a later date and insert something else as a flash guard? Is there a product available for this purpose?
Replacing the boards would be a pain in the **** in a few of the cases as multiple armoured cables enter from all sides, with the DBs half enclosed in the walls (which is either clad with asbestolux or supalux). It's believed the building dates from about 1970, and was originally a factory- yet the owner has not got an asbestos register :-(
