For All Your Asbestos Consumable Needs

The new survey guidance has been around for six or seven months now and I would like to ask where is it taking us?

We are all aware of the changes:New Survey types, Management, Demolition/Refurbishment replacing the Types 1,2 and 3. The clari�cation of the survey types will assist the clients in ensuring the appropriate survey is carried out. Quality and Competence:Client has a responsibility to ensure the competence of the surveyor, recommended minimum of training and experience of surveyors.Report production and presentation:To ensure reports are produced and presented so that duty holders can utilise the information e�ectively.Pre Survey Planning:Planning prior to survey to enable appropriate survey and production of relevant information.

Survey reports should form part of an asbestos management plan and are not the management plan in itself.

In the main the changes are good for both client and surveyor. There is a requirement to produce useful factual reports by competent and experienced surveyors. The client has a duty to employ and instruct suitably quali�ed individuals or companies. Will this lead to the duty holders considering that the cheapest surveying quote is not always the best? Will the client focus on who exactly is to carry out the survey rather than how much it will cost? If there was an increased level of awareness among clients of their duties and responsibilities I would say that this is possible. The sad fact is that despite the best e�orts of the HSE and other like minded bodies there is still a huge gulf in asbestos awareness. It seems that only those companies that regularly engage in asbestos management; (property surveyors and management companies for example) are aware of the duties and responsibilities. Considering the high pro�le nature of asbestos, there is still a lot of news coverage, and a massive amount of information on the internet, it is surprising to �nd that duty holders or interested parties are unaware they have a responsi-bility to manage their asbestos risk. In future the hope is that this changes and the duty holder is more asbestos aware.

I would like to spotlight an issue that may have arisen as a result of the way demolition/refurbishment surveys are carried out. This issue, I feel, has an impact across a huge sector of the construction market. Namely the market in home improvements. This sector ranges from new kitchens, double glazing, conservatories, central heating and electrical installation. I am as yet unaware of any large home improvement company that carries out asbestos surveys prior to the commencement of works in a domestic property. Is this because CAR 2006 speci�cally excludes domestic properties? Recent �gures suggest that up to 2.4 million homes contain asbestos products in the UK. There are a large

number of tradesmen involved in the installation of home improve-ments who may be exposed to asbestos during the course of their everyday work. Thanks to the clari�cation of survey types in HSG264, it is clear that a part survey of a limited area can easily be carried out. The ideal application of such localised area surveys would be a pre refurbish-ment survey in a domestic setting. This would address the problem of potential exposure during localised works such as kitchen and bathroom re�ts. For many years PA Group has been carrying out full and part property surveys in domestic properties for social landlords to locate asbestos prior to such refurbishment programmes. It is clear that this approach urgently needs to be rolled out to privately owned domestic properties.

This brings us back to CAR2006, Reg 4 states the domestic properties are excluded. This could explain why home improvements companies do not feel there is a duty to carry out an asbestos survey. I feel that when read with the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, an employer has a duty to ensure that its employee’s place of work is a safe environment. This being so, it surely follows that the risks associated with a domestic should be identi�ed as much as they would for a commercial property? If I live in a 1930’s semi and I want a new kitchen with a new boiler, possibly and new circuit breaker why wouldn’t I or the kitchen �tter, have an asbestos survey carried out? There may be a number of asbestos containing materials present including, textured coating on the ceiling, asbestos board in the boiler cupboard, asbestos paper behind the partition? Now that HSG264 points out that any part of a building that is to be refurbished has to have a fully intrusive survey done, why shouldn’t I have one in my home, to mitigate risk to myself and the contactor? Am I the duty holder or is the company I have employed to do the work, who have a duty to their employees under H&S 1974 but are excluded from CAR2006? My guess is that, as usual, the contractor may have to take the responsibility.

In my view this industry is exposing itself to future litigation. My home can be become a place of work, albeit temporarily and therefore H&S 1974 applies. I think that the publication of HSG264 has taken us down a new road. This may not have been considered before because it was excluded, (maybe wrongly?) as domestic properties were not a place of work.

HSE Myth of the MonthHealth and Safety Bans Bunting The realityThere are no regulations banning people from hanging bunting at weddings and village fetes or �ying �ags for sporting events.

HSE encourages people to have a bit of common sense about their attitudes to risk, not to make everything risk-free. There won't be an army of inspectors cutting down bunting or insisting �ags are lowered.

HSE exists to prevent people being killed or seriously injured at work, not to stop people celebrating in style.http://www.hse.gov.uk/myth/aug10.htm

Asbestos Removal Decontamination

RemediationConstruction Services


For every single individual killed on a building site, a further 14 are dying from asbestos related disease. This poignantly illustrates the importance of �t- for-task testing as outlined by Constructing Better Health (CBH) in the National Standards for Management of Occupational Health (OH).Under health and safety law, all asbestos licensed workers are required to undergo statutory medicals, but not necessarily �tness-for-task checks. CBH is working closely with the Asbestos Liaison Group (ALG) to push the need for �tness-for-task health checks.Section 4 of the current ALG Workplan, stipulates that asbestos workers must receive �tness-for-task health checks beyond the basic require-ments of statutory Regulation 22 medical examination. For asbestos licensed employers, it lifts the veil on what HSE inspectors are really looking for, while helping to grow sustainable good practice in their business.

The CBH standards identify asbestos removal work as being ‘safety critical’:“Where the ill health of an individual may compromise their ability to undertake a task de�ned as safety critical, thereby posing a signi�cant risk to the health and safety of others.”It is important that asbestos licensed workers are not su�ering from medical conditions or undergoing any medical treatment which is likely to cause sudden loss of consciousness or incapacity, impairment of awareness, concentration, balance or coordination or signi�cant limitation of mobility.

Access to the CBH national database has been written into the criteria of Section 4 of the ALG workplan. As asbestos workers receive �tness for task surveillance from CBH accredited OH Service Providers, this information is recorded on the database and is easily accessed for inclusion in a mandatory company audit. While joining CBH is not compulsory, their contribution to Section 4 is a robust and demonstra-ble means of OH management for your employees, clients and inspec-

tors. In addition, it allows workers to move from di�erent sites without incurring added costs to the employer of repeating occupational health checks. Using the CBH card, an employer can check that an employee is �t-for-task in the o�ce or on site, but is not permitted access to their medical records.

CBH has been welcomed by asbestos licensed companies nationwide, including Rhodar, Erith Group, Shield Environmental, Kingsley Environ-mental Services, DLP Hire/Insulation, Advanced Environmental Services, Fibreclean UK, R&F Insulations & Northern Insulation Contractors , all of which signed up to the scheme.

Michelle Aldous, chief executive of CBH said: “We recommend regular health checks for all workers undertaking ‘safety critical work’ to protect their own health and safety and that of others. A worker’s �tness-for-task is likely to change over time so it’s important to establish a system that recalls workers who require ongoing health checks. That’s where CBH’s new system comes in.”

BRITISH LUNG FOUNDATION Charity Asbestos campaign o�ers a helping hand After the launch of the British Lung Foundation’s Action Mesothelioma Day in July this year the charity is encouraging people to use their ‘top tips’ when dealing with asbestos or look at their new online video, especially as people start to get ‘handy’ over the bank holiday. BLF research found that over 14 million homes were built when asbestos was being used as a building material between the 1950’s and 1999.

The online video fronted by celebrity DIY-er and winner of Big Brother 1 Craig Phillips is aimed at homeowners who may live in houses which contain asbestos and regularly do DIY but do not realise the dangers of exposure to the material. Along with the top tips the BLF o�ers the following advice:

Asbestos containing materials in good condition are not a health risk and should be left aloneNever sand, drill or saw objects which may contain asbestos like textured ceiling coatings, �oor tiles or asbestos cement roofsCommon places where asbestos could be found include �oor tiles, toilet cisterns, textured ceiling coatings, asbestos cement roofs, so�t boards and linings of boiler cupboardsAlways seek professional advice from your local authority or an accredited asbestos removal company before thinking of removing asbestos materials

For more information about the campaign or to view the video and the top tips please visit www.lunguk.org/actionmeso

The British Lung Foundation is also looking to develop their Asbestos campaign over the next three years and there will great opportunities for sponsor-ship and partnership work.

Youngest Asbestos Victim dies aged 18 Britain's youngest ever victim of a killer cancer linked to asbestos has died after a heartbreaking �ve-year battle against the disease.Brave Sophie Ellis was just 13 when she was diagnosed with mesothelioma and given months to live.But she de�ed the doctors' predictions and fought the disease until her death at 18 surrounded by her family.

Despite being desperately ill, she spoke movingly about her ordeal last year in support of the Mirror's Asbestos Time-bomb campaign and her startling story proved an inspiration.

She said: "The cancer has made me braver in a way. It was pretty tough being diagnosed at such a young age and the surgery was painful.

"I hope more can be done to understand this disease - that's why I'm backing the Mirror's campaign." The talented musician never gave up her dream of becoming an actress, even after surgery to remove a lung and losing the use of her legs.

Asbestos in Schools : The monster in the cupboard




ABP Associates

Around 75 per cent of Britain’s schools contain asbestos. With the right support and training, schools can manage asbestos e�ectively

Written by Joanne Lewis, chair of the education group for the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health

Learning to manage the risks in day-to-day activities is part of a good education. School pupils learn how to handle a wide variety of risks, from the busy road where a crossing or lollipop warden helps pupils to cross safely to the science lab where safety spectacles stop chemicals splashing into students’ eyes.

When the danger is hidden and its e�ects aren’t apparent until years later, it becomes more menacing and more di�cult to manage – a monster in the cupboard waiting to pounce. Asbestos is just such a monster, prevalent in many of our schools as well as domestic proper-ties. But with knowledge and e�ective management, we can tame it.Know your monster

In order to manage the risk, it’s important to understand what you’re dealing with. The Asbestos Training and Consultancy Association (ATaC) says that around 75 per cent of Britain’s schools contain asbestos and asbestos containing materials (ACMs). There are high-risk materials such as asbestos lagging on pipes and boilers; sprayed asbestos used for thermal insulation, �re protection, partitioning and ducts; some ceiling tiles; and asbestos insulation board. Some ACMs, such as �oor tiles, asbestos cement roo�ng and guttering, and textured coatings, are considered a lower risk – but a risk nonetheless.

The menace of asbestos is two-fold: it causes respiratory illness and death, and it acts with stealth so many victims don’t know about the damage until it’s too late. Mesothelioma, the most potent asbestos-related cancer, can take 20 or 30 years to emerge, and by the time patients realise they’ve got it, they often have only months left to live. In the UK, around 2,000 people die from mesothelioma every year. The �gure has doubled since 1992, and it’s set to rise further because many of the people who were exposed before the ban won’t know they’re ill yet.

To date, says ATaC, 178 teachers are known to have died from asbestos-

related illnesses. Asbestos has also been implicated in the deaths of younger people like Leigh Carlisle, who was diagnosed with mesothe-lioma aged 26. Leigh died in 2008, aged 28, and it’s still unknown whether her illness was caused by asbestos in her school or taking a shortcut through a factory yard where asbestos was cut.

Closing the cupboard doorThe Control of Asbestos at Work Regulations 2006 bans the importation, supply and use of all forms of asbestos. The most dangerous types, crocidolite (blue asbestos) and amosite (brown asbestos) have been banned since 1985, while chrysotile (white asbestos) has been banned since 1999. There’s also a ban on the second-hand use of asbestos products.

Nevertheless, asbestos and ACMs can often be found in schools and colleges built or refurbished before blue and brown asbestos were banned in 1985. Some ACMs such as asbestos cement were still used up until 1999.

The Control of Asbestos at Work Regulations specify a “duty to manage asbestos” for non-domestic premises. Anyone with responsibility for the maintenance or repair of non-domestic premises has a duty to know whether the premises contain asbestos, where it is, what condition it’s in, and to ensure that it’s managed properly – including telling anyone who may disturb it that it’s there. If it’s undamaged, and isn’t in a place where it’s likely to be damaged, it can be left in place and monitored regularly to make sure it’s still sound.

For most educational establishments, the ‘dutyholder’ will be the employer. In many cases that’s the Local Education Authority, although for voluntary aided schools, foundation schools and Academies it will be the school governors, and for independent schools it may be the proprietor, governors or trustees.

These measures aim to close the cupboard door; to contain the asbestos monster so it can do no more harm. But it’s important to acknowledge that constant monitoring and competent management is needed to make sure that door stays closed.

Support for schoolsIn February this year a snapshot survey of 16 British schools by ATaC found that none of them was meeting the regulations on managing asbestos. The report followed a questionnaire carried out by the Department for Children, Schools and Families and HSE in 2009 on local authorities and dioceses, which showed similar �aws in asbestos management.

ATaC says that many schools lack the resources to manage asbestos safely, and has joined forces with the Campaign Against Asbestos in

Training - Preparation, preparation and more preparation

Schools to press for a working group to be set up, risk assessments and management plans to be e�ectively implemented, and full training to be introduced for teachers and school sta�.Some teachers’ unions are also calling for all asbestos to be eliminated from school premises. At the very least, the survey has highlighted a need to give schools more support in managing asbestos.“ATaC’s audit and our own research reveal that in many schools, sta� are not aware of the dangers of asbestos; they do not know where it is and are not involved in its management,” says Philip Parkin, general secretary of Voice: the union for education professionals. “Urgent action is required to improve standards of asbestos management, and to create an action plan for asbestos in schools, including: audits, risk assess-ments, relevant training and guidance, and for all asbestos to be identi�ed and removed in a phased programme when schools are refurbished.”

Taming the monsterAt IOSH, we believe that because all types of asbestos �bres are poten-tially harmful, people should be protected from inhaling them. That means the careful recording, monitoring and management of asbestos and ACMs if they’re in good condition and the sealing o� or safe removal of any materials that are in poor condition.

The IOSH manifesto, Creating a healthier UK plc, sets out the challenge of getting better health through better work and advocate the embed-ding of sensible risk management principles throughout the education and training system. We’re also working to support teachers in educat-ing tomorrow’s workers about the risks. We developed the Workplace Hazard Awareness Course, a free resource for education providers to teach Year 10 pupils about the risks they might face at work – including asbestos.

“IOSH takes a sensible risk management approach to the problem of

asbestos,” says David Garioch, corporate health and safety manager for the London Borough of Sutton. “Adequate training and support needs to

be provided by the employer for schools to manage asbestos e�ectively.”David describes how those principles have been put into practice in Sutton. “We’ve provided school asbestos duty holder training along with help and support to complete the asbestos registers,” he says. “We �rstly carried out a Materials Assessment through a competent contractor, and then worked with the duty holders to complete the Priority Assessment and show them how to inspect the condition for updating the register.”The key to taming the asbestos monster lies in education and advice from competent professionals. Everyone responsible for non-domestic premises should have their property checked for asbestos, using a competent person such as an accredited asbestos surveyor. And you need to keep checking any asbestos and ACMs to make sure you’re aware of any new risks that arise. Most importantly, information about the risks needs to be passed on to anyone – teachers, maintenance sta� and pupils – who might come into contact with asbestos or ACMs.For more information

The success of a course begins well before the day you hold it. As with decorating or cooking, for the best results you must invest time in preparation. Think about all aspects, not just the course content.

Be clear about the course objectives and what they will deliver for the audience; tell them "by the end of the course, the delegates will..."

Think about how you will involve people using exercises, questions, case studies and group work. Bear in mind di�erent people learn in di�erent ways. Do not forget that people's concentration starts to drops o� after about 15 minutes of doing the same thing, so build in variety, changes of pace, and mood.

Do not think that just because you have produced a PowerPoint presentation and some handouts you have produced a course: there is more to it than that.

Check this place out....Spend some time in the room you will be using. Think about desk and chair layout, lighting, blinds,

, ventilation, visual aids.

Will there be contractors working next door or any other distractions? Where are the toilets, emergency exits, drinks facilities and smoking areas?

What do the alarms sound like and what do you need to do if one goes o�?

Show and tell

However high-tech or low-tech your style or teaching aids, make sure everything works and that you have all the tools you need.

Run through the course in your mind and ensure you have everything to hand.

Have a contingency plan so that you are still able to proceed even without key aids such as laptops and projectors. If they are essential, make sure you have a back up.

Hello, my name is....

As soon as people enter the room, welcome them and �nd out who they are if you don't already know. Establish the right atmosphere right from the start by your positive language and demeanor. Always learn people's names and use them.

Are you sitting comfortably? Then I will begin….

One of the more powerful rapport building techniques is to use stories or anecdotes and examples to make or underline your key points. Ideally, stories should be three things: simple, personal and true.

Look at my eyes, not around the eyes….

Failing to make and maintain eye contact with the people you're talking to is nothing less than disastrous. Whatever else you do or do not do, look people in the eye and talk to them, not at them.

Involve people – let them do the work….

There are many ways of engaging trainees: questions, quizzes, games, role play, or group work. The best trainers use a range of methods and constantly seek new ways. But in the end, it doesn't matter how you achieve engagement, as long as it happens.

Watch what you’re doing….

Key things to watch are:·The clock: no one likes a trainer who does not start and �nish on time,

and if you �nd you are not running to time in the session. you will either have to add something in or leave something out;

The group: levels of attention and engagement are clear from people's faces and body language, if you feel that you are losing people an impromptu break may be in order; and

The learning objectives you set. This is most important of all; keep checking you are meeting them. Remember, training should be memo-rable, relevant, fun and give people something they can take away and apply.

Be enthusiastic – love your subjectYou only have to watch someone talking about a subject that they really love to see how important this is.

The best presenters convey not only knowledge but also the feeling that the subject really matters to them. This is very in�uential; put in the passion!

Structure - keeps it all togetherMake it clear how everything in the course �ts together. For longer topics. divide the material into sections or modules.

The whole of the course, and each individual module, should have a beginning, a middle and an end not, as sometimes is the case "a beginning, a muddle and an end".

Constantly remind people where you have got to and how the particular section or point relates to the bigger picture.

Practice, practice and practiceMany people dislike standing up presenting to a group of people; this means that we may miss the one thing that would help us improve; plenty of practice.

By seeking out every opportunity to practice you will grow your skills, �nd out what works and what does not and lose the fear of failure simply because you have done it so many times before.

You will also develop your own persona and charisma as a trainer and gain the immense satisfaction that comes from doing something of great value.

And �nally….And �nally, by passing on your knowledge and skills you'll be leaving people better able to do their job safely so that they can go home knowing that they have not been exposed to asbestos.
