Posted By Gareth Welch I have recently beeen appointed as CDM Co-ordinator for a contract to refurbish a number of Housing Association properties, a number of these are believed to have been frequented by Mr & Mrs Squatter with the possibility of needles and other items associated with drug use left behind. I have advised the client we should be passing relevant information onto the Prinicpal Contractor on potential hazards one of which being the possibility of needles & sharps. to determine whether there actually are needles and sharps we need the properties surveying. Does anyone know a company that would do this or could point me in the right direction? i've tried to local council and Environment Agency but no luck!! Thanks Gareth

Posted By Doug Kelly Gareth You may want to try PHS Waste Management. Not sure if they do 'surveys' but I believe they offer 'clean up' services. Hope this helps Doug
