If you are a property professional responsible for the safe management of asbestos across a portfolio of properties under normal occupation, or a contractor responsible for the safety of your people working in such properties, UKNAR think this short live presentation will be of interest. (30 mins + 15 mins Q&A)
The Government response post the Parliamentary inquiry into the HSE's approach to asbestos management accepted UKNAR's recommendations for:
- The adoption of a central digital register of asbestos in UK non-domestic buildings
- The use of digital technology to improve how asbestos information is communicated, particularly to contractors, by drawing on lessons from the use of digital technologies in building management and the health response to the pandemic.
UKNAR's SMART inexpensive QR code technology could help your organisation vastly improve how valuable and potentially life-saving asbestos information is quickly and easily communicated to staff, visitors and contractors in your properties: better protecting your people and helping you achieve and demonstrate legal compliance with Regulation 4: Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.
It can also help you avoid the potentially considerable costs and time incurred if things go wrong.
With asbestos remaining in 1 in 5 workplaces and 1.5 million premises in the UK the challenges of trying to achieve effective management and 100% compliance are high. It is not surprising that thousands of accidental exposures still occur annually, costing huge amounts of time and money while unnecessarily endangering many thousands of lives. Asbestos dwarfs all other workplace killers in the UK: 5,000 people still die annually from asbestos related cancers and diseases with contractors visiting and working in buildings often presenting the highest risk.
Join the webinar to hear Andrew Paten Co-Founder of UKNAR CIC ( a social enterprise), speak in more detail about what it takes in the real world to achieve effective compliance and protect people from asbestos exposures
