Asbestos Safety Policy

We will report robust key performance indicator (KPI) measures for asbestos safety that follow the requirements set out in the Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs) which came into force 1 April 2023.  Performance must be reported to the Regulator on an annual basis from 1 April 2024, however we will report internally monthly to SMT and Cabinet. The relevant TSM for Asbestos Safety is defined as follows:

BS03 - Asbestos Safety Checks - Proportion of homes for which all required asbestos management surveys or re-inspections have been carried out.

This measure ensures that all individual homes that may be at risk because of any non-compliance are identified.

We will also report the following:

Data - the total number of:

• Properties - communal blocks, commercial, and other properties.
• Properties on the asbestos management/re-inspection programme.
• Properties not on the asbestos management/re-inspection programme.
• Properties with a valid and in date survey/re-inspection.
• Properties without a valid and in date survey/re-inspection.
• Properties due to be surveyed/re-inspected within the next 30 days; and
• Completed, in-time and overdue follow-up works/actions arising from the surveys.

Narrative - an explanation of the:

• Current position.
• Corrective action required.
• Anticipated impact of corrective action; and
• Progress with completion of follow-up works.

In addition:

• The percentage of domestic properties with full asbestos data.
• The number of RIDDOR notifications to the HSE with regards to asbestos safety.

The full detail of our performance measures for Asbestos Safety will be outlined in a KPI Definition Document which includes the relevant data sources used for each calculation, the calculation methodology, any exclusions, and the accountable roles for producing and managing the KPIs.
