- Asbestos Management Planning
The duty to manage Asbestos in buildings is contained in regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. Its effect is to describe duties to persons in control of non-domestic properties to achieve two basic goals:
- Persons working in a property or visiting that property will not be exposed to asbestos.
- Persons required to do work on the property will be advised of the presence of asbestos so that they can avoid it or, if adequately trained, work on it appropriately.
- Plan – Prepare – Manage
There will always be a Duty Holder in a non-domestic property, be that the freehold owner or the Manager of a company leasing the property. The Duty Holder is the person who has control of work on the fabric of the building.
What Rubico can do for the Duty Holder:
- Procure the required Asbestos Survey, so that the risk can be identified, and an Asbestos Register can be compiled.
- Manage the production of an Asbestos Management Plan that describes how the risk will be managed.
- Provide an Asbestos management system via an online portal which is highly intuitive, and bespoke to your company requirements. It allows for accurate reporting at Company level, site level and sample point level. The user can interrogate site plans and upload consignment notes, RAMS, air tests etc, with the ability to create a Permit to Work and send reports which auto logs recipients details. In its most basic form, it can archive and store information which is password protected with a unique tiered login procedure. In short it provides a full HSE compliant audit trail of your company’s asbestos management
- Advise on Asbestos remediation works where required and provide project management services should the risk require encapsulation or removal.
