this exactly,
All works that result in hazardous waste, such as building/science, have to submit a Risk Assessment form that states what the risks are and how they're going to manage them. Usually they have to submit them to the council too if the work is going to be major (such as what is happening where you live).
Try asking the council for them if the guilty party refuses to show you the sheet, and if they haven't actually submitted one, they'll be in more trouble still.
At least, they would be if it was in aus. But you could try it anyway!

Refitting a shop does not fall within this category
and that's not actually the case in this country anyway.
