Asbestos management in Sheffield for dutyholders and property portfolios
Turn survey information into a working asbestos register, responsibilities, action plan, contractor-control process and risk-based condition-monitoring programme for relevant Sheffield premises.
Dutyholders need to use the information, keep it current, assess risk, prepare and implement a management plan, provide relevant information and review arrangements.
Make asbestos information usable day to day
Good management connects the survey and register to responsibilities, work controls, communication, actions, monitoring and review.
Find and record
Take reasonable steps to determine location and condition, presume asbestos where appropriate and maintain a current register.
Assess risk
Consider material condition alongside accessibility, occupancy, maintenance and the people who could disturb it.
Write the plan
Set roles, priorities, communication, contractor controls, monitoring and emergency arrangements.
Put it into action
Inform staff and contractors, control work, complete actions, monitor ACMs and review the plan at least annually or sooner when needed.
