HSE to launch intensive asbestos survey inspection
Tuesday, 24 January 2012 08:50
Their aim to inspect refurbishment sites across Great Britain to tackle poor safety standards.
The inspections will take into account general health and safety of refurbishment on sites across the country.
As part of this they will be looking at the asbestos survey and asbestos management information that has been prepared for the site in particular has the asbestos survey been completed, if so is it suitable for purpose?
Are the company that carried out the pre-refurbishment survey adequately trained, insured and have in place a formal quality system?
At Bradley Environmental we are all of these prerequisites;
- we are UKAS accredited for asbestos inspection, testing and surveying; and,
- we have insurance cover over and above normal requirements.
If you control any sites where refurbishment works are required that were built before 2000, you are required by law to ensure that none of the workers involved with the refurbishment are at danger of been exposed to asbestos. In order to do that you must coordinate a pre-refurbishment or demolition asbestos survey prior to any works commencing on site in accordance with Regulation 4 and 5 of the control of asbestos regulations 2006.
Bradley Environmental can work closely with you and your team and ensure that you are provided with an asbestos survey that is fit for purpose and fits you scope of works for the planned refurbishment works.
Also be aware that they will be checking if your site operatives hold an up-to-date Asbestos Awareness Training certificate, again Bradley Environmental can provide you with UKATA approved Asbestos Awareness Training either at one of our training centres in Birmingham, Wakefield, Wrexham (North Wales), Blackpool or nationally for less than you might think.
