Asbestos management in schools – HSE Random Campaign
Those responsible for the maintenance of school premises have duties under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006 (CAR) to manage asbestos so that the risks to staff and pupils are as low as reasonably practicable. Dutyholders’ awareness of their legal duties provides a useful indicator of compliance – and is an important element of ensuring ongoing management of asbestos.
In 2010/11 HSE focused on schools outside local authority control as the latest initiative in a series of interventions targeting asbestos management in schools. This initiative complemented interventions in 2009/10 that checked how local authorities were managing asbestos in their schools. Inspectors took enforcement action in 28 of the 164 schools (17%) – serving a total of 41 Improvement Notices (INs). A summary of their findings and further information can be obtained from the HSE wesbiste http://www.hse.gov.uk/services/education/asbestos-summary-1011.htm.
