Managing asbestos
Duty holders should now have suitable and appropriate systems in place for the management of asbestos containing materials in their properties. Ridge is working in partnership with the HSE in order to increase awareness of the issues associated with current legislation.
Duty holders should:
- Have a policy on asbestos
- Take reasonable steps to find asbestos in the premises and assess the condition of these materials
- Presume that materials contain asbestos unless there is strong evidence that they do not
- Prepare a record of the location and condition of these materials and assess the risk from them
- Prepare and implement a plan to manage the risks
- Provide information on the location and condition of the material to anyone who is liable to disturb it
Our qualified staff and detailed knowledge means that we understand the particular problems associated with the development of policies and procedures that can be effectively implemented over a large stock of occupied properties.
Ridge can assist by providing the following services:
- Procurement and project management of asbestos surveys
- Establishing framework contracts for ongoing monitoring and air testing
- Development of an asbestos policy
- Development of procedures for dealing with asbestos in premises
- Development of management plans and programmes
- Establishing contracts for removal or remediation works with licensed contractors.
