Many companies had to be closed this month due to the risk of collapsing floors!
In Amsterdam, about 120 employees of the Waste Energy Company (AEB) could not leave the company for hours because asbestos was found. The staff only left the grounds after they had showered and had clean clothes.
Asbestos has escaped in the event of a major fire in an industrial area as a result of which the industrial site and surrounding companies had to be closed.
A large part of the industrial site, with various wholesale and construction markets, has been closed for research into asbestos. The cleaning can take several days.
It is unclear whether the industrial area should remain closed all the time.
Business owners can not get on the business premises.
For a wholesale center, a supplier of fresh produce, it has big consequences. "For example, we can not provide hospitals and elderly centers with vegetables and fruit. The fire costs our company today 50,000 euros. The total damage is in the tons."
