Two companies have been fined after a 16-year-old worker was exposed to asbestos.
He had been breaking up cement sheets from the roof of an outbuilding at a domestic property and putting them into a skip. Asbestos was later found to be in the cement sheets.

P Turnbull Joinery and Building Services Ltd had not properly assessed the work and failed to prevent the worker being exposed to asbestos.
