Managing asbestos
The University has a wide variety of buildings across campus, many of which were built when asbestos was a widely used material.
Before any work is undertaken that breaches the fabric of the building or its services the asbestos register must be consulted.
Personnel whose work involves breaching the fabric of the building or its services must have received formal asbestos awareness training.
Training should be given by a recognised trainer/training provider covering the topics as laid out in the Control of Asbestos Regulations at intervals not exceeding 3 years. This should be supported by refresher training provided on an annual basis, although this may be included as part of other health and safety updates and undertaken by in-house competent persons.
