Synopsis:

Recent safety discussions in education have rightly focused on protecting staff and students from COVID, but there are still other significant dangers on campus, which educational facilities are required to manage.

In the last year, 22 teachers died from mesothelioma in the UK as a result of exposure to asbestos whilst at work.

Educational buildings constructed between 1950 and 1985 are at particular risk of this danger, due to the large number of building materials containing asbestos used in their construction. Staff, students and visitors must be protected from this silent killer, therefore it is imperative that asbestos risk is managed safely and in line with legislative requirements. 

The good news is that a carefully planned strategy and the correct procedures in place can not only keep people safe from the risk of asbestos exposure but also ensure overall asbestos compliance; giving the duty holders peace of mind that the risks are under control and managed in accordance with Control of Asbestos 2012 regulations.  

When looking at asbestos risk the main factor to consider is the environmental impact of the works undertaken in the steps to compliance, it becomes extremely important to also focus attention on Sustainability and ways to contribute to a greener environment as clients and suppliers alike work towards their Sustainability goals.

Join our expert panel, as they discuss the risks, solutions and how careful, sustainable facilities planning can improve overall wellbeing for students and staff at all levels in education.

 

What will the webinar cover?

Before the UK outlawed the import and use of all types of asbestos in building materials and products, it was used extensively in the construction of schools during this period. With recent cases highlighting the need for more careful identification, management and removal of this hazardous material, this seminar will provide much needed practical guidance and the latest, best practice approaches to dealing with asbestos:

• Using surveys to identify different types of asbestos
• How to Effectively Manage Asbestos in Schools
  • Creating and implementing a management plan
  • Removal or Reassurance?
  • The role of Reassurance Air Monitoring
  • Using SEM Technology to detect Asbestos
• Case studies and the lessons learned
• Legal and professional indemnity insurance implications
