Horse hair and other animal hairs have been used in traditional plaster for centuries but it wasn`t unit 1919 that control measures were introduced to disinfect animals hairs prior to their use in building plaster products.

 

In certain circumstances such as during refurbishment or demolition works the possibility of anthrax within these traditional plasters should be a consideration and may require anthrax sampling or testing to sections of plaster or an anthrax survey of the property prior to works commencing. The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 & The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 (CDM) stipulates a legal duty to introduce control measures to minimise any health risks to staff or those involved in the construction industry.
