School budgets are under increasing pressures, and many of the repairs that are needed to support deteriorating buildings are being delayed. With at least 21,500 schools in the UK still containing asbestos, it’s essential to make sure your asbestos management plan is up to date to provide support and training to those who are using and managing the building. You don’t have to work with asbestos to be at risk, but your duty holder needs to have a plan in place for when risks, such as these, might occur. #asbestos #ukschools #education #occupationalexposure

AEC's Darren Evans was on hand to support the BOHS FAAM Annual conference this week. Darren’s talk covered the ‘Asbestos Information Certificate’, a new initiative being developed by some UKAS-accredited inspection bodies, including AEC, to gather data on the condition of asbestos in buildings. The new certificate is aimed at supporting Duty Holders with asbestos management and compliance by providing a visual ‘at a glance’ overview of the status of the asbestos management in their buildings and a rating system that easily identifies areas for improvement. In addition, the data could be used for national mapping of ACMs throughout Great Britain.
