The current Asbestos Management Policy setting out the School's policy and procedures for managing asbestos is available to disseminate to your project team and is summarised below:
Project Managers, Space Planners and Maintenance Supervisors and above have direct access to the on-line Asbestos Register and document management system within Planon.
An Asbestos information request form should be completed (see link below) to access the services/advice of the Asbestos Manager, where appropriate.
The Asbestos Register is maintained by the Asbestos Manager. The is updated as and when changes have occurred in an LSE building. The Asbestos Register records the location and condition of all known ACMs.
As part of the Management Plan the Asbestos Manager ensures that all known ACMs are periodically re-inspected to record their condition, aiming to ensure:
• nobody is harmed by the continuing presence of ACM in the premises or equipment;
• that the ACM remain in good condition; and
• that nobody disturbs it accidentally
There continues to be the risk of an uncontrolled escape of asbestos fibres from within a number of the School's buildings and therefore please remain diligent and be aware of the emergency procedures described in the School's Asbestos Management Policy.
If there are any concerns, doubts or queries regarding the management of asbestos, please make contact with the:
