BBC 1 - Inside Out - Asbestos in Schools
Asbestos is a challenging issue for many Heads, Bursars and Maintenance Managers working in schools and for Local Authorities. The recent HSE 'Asbestos Kills, Hidden Killer Campaign' worked to highlight the danger of exposure to asbestos for general trades people such as electricians, plumbers and carpenters - all of which can be found working on-site at schools within the UK.

Redhill Analysts, a leading national consultancy, have developed a user friendly reference guide for schools to ensure you remain compliant with current asbestos legislation.

The guide is designed to help plan your approach to asbestos management and removal during daily tasks, during refurbishments, and have the confidence to know how to deal with anxious staff and parents.

The publication 'A Guide to Managing Asbestos in Schools' more effectively is freely available by visiting:

www.asbestosinschools.co.uk

Some of the topics covered are:

  • What I need to know?

  • Who is accountable?

  • What plans do I need to have in place?

  • Who needs to know about asbestos?

  • How do I choose a good contractor?


    • Whilst you are not under any obligation to remove the asbestos, we can assist in providing cost effective management solutions to ensure your ongoing compliance with the asbestos regulations. In addition, we can advise and plan any required removal to be carried out during the school holidays, so no interruptions to the school during term time.

    We have established a direct call number on 01306 631820 for specific advice about your school, or see our website to request a guide at www.asbestosinschools.co.uk for additional information.
