Managing Asbestos Premises
British Occupational Hygiene Society are running a series of
1-day seminars linked with HSE’s new asbestos survey guidance
HSG264 and will feature in Glasgow on 03 March.
This series of joint BOHS/ATaC seminars is aimed at building
surveyors, asbestos accredited inspection bodies and clients who
want to find out more about the new Health and Safety Executive
(HSE) guidance on asbestos.
HSE has reviewed its 'MDHS 100' guidance on asbestos surveying,
which describes Type 1,2 and 3 surveys and this document will be
replaced in January with 'Managing Asbestos in Premises, the Survey
Guide', which will describe management surveys and
refurbishment/demolition surveys.
The HSE estimates that there are between half a million
and a million non-domestic properties which still contain asbestos,
and there will be an increasing requirement for the more invasive
refurbishment/demolition surveys which are particularly
demanding.
'Managing Asbestos in Premises, the Survey Guide' will therefore
place far greater emphasis on competency.
Each seminar will provide a packed, informative, and full day
programme with expert speakers from a wide range of
organisations.
