Asbestos Safety Policy

We will deliver training on this policy and the procedures that support it, through appropriate methods including toolbox talks; basic asbestos awareness training; and on the job training for those delivering the asbestos programme, planned maintenance and repair works as part of their daily job. All training undertaken by staff will be formally recorded.

We will ensure that all operatives working for, or on behalf of the Council have the relevant qualifications required for their role.

We will undertake periodic assessments of training needs and resulting programmes of internal and external training supported by Workforce Development.

All employees will have an understanding of asbestos management and their roles and responsibilities in ensuring that we maintain compliance.
