World Day for Health and Safety at Work today

Important Date for Asbestos Workers and Managers Diaries

With the New Year well and truly in progress, we are rapidly approaching an important date that all managers and workers dealing with asbestos should be aware of. As part of the updates to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, and following on from the requirement to briefly document each job with records of workers involved and levels of likely exposure, there are new medical conditions to consider.

By April 2015, all workers/self-employed workers undertaking notifiable non-licensed work with asbestos must be under health surveillance by a doctor. Workers who are already under health surveillance for licensed work need not have another medical examination for non-licensed work. BUT medicals for notifiable non-licensed work are not acceptable for those doing licensed work.

This is the last of the updates to the original regulations to come into effect, but it will require comprehensive record keeping to ensure compliance. The remainder of the regulations remain broadly the same, emphasising the need for training of operatives and the importance of correctly face fitted respiratory protection and other PPE as well correct cleaning and disposal methods.

C&D Training Division are fully equipped to provide training on all these subjects, further details can be had by emailing us or by calling 01902 686363.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from C&D Consultancy

Here's hoping everyone has a great Christmas break, New Year celebration, and positive start to 2015!
