Asbestos health and safety law regulates work, not just buildings. Maintain or refurbish pre-2000 premises and you carry duties around training and information. Tradespeople remain the most exposed group in the UK.
We help Kent employers manage asbestos at the people level: briefings for real trades, plans people follow, RAMS reviewed by practitioners, and disturbance procedures that assume things go wrong.
Awareness briefings for site and trade teams
Disturbance procedures written for your site
From exposure reality check to live incident support, every engagement is built around what your people actually do and the buildings they actually enter.
We look at what your team does, where they do it and which materials they are likely to encounter. From that, we map the legal duties that follow and identify what needs to be in place.
Management plans, permit-to-work systems and disturbance-response procedures written specifically for your operation, in language that works for everyone from a senior manager to a first-year apprentice.
Awareness sessions structured around the actual buildings your people work in, covering what the materials look like, where they appear in Kent’s pre-2000 building stock and what to do the moment something is discovered. Sessions run half a day or less, delivered on your site or ours, with attendance records issued for your training file.
A direct line your supervisors can call the moment something suspect turns up on a job. Triage, sampling and asbestos air testing arranged while the rest of the site carries on around the affected area.
We write bespoke asbestos management policies compliant with CAR 2012 and tailored to your specific obligations.
We deliver asbestos awareness training for maintenance staff and contractors at your premises across Surrey.
We carry out or review asbestos risk assessments for planned maintenance and construction works before any contractor begins.
We carry £10m public and employer liability insurance as standard on every consultancy engagement we deliver.
FAQS
If they carry out work that could disturb asbestos, yes. In buildings that pre-date 2000, routine maintenance work typically qualifies. Information, instruction and training are a legal requirement under those circumstances and must be refreshed at regular intervals. For anyone actually working on or with asbestos materials, additional task-specific training is required on top of awareness.
Stop work immediately, keep everyone else out of the area, avoid sweeping or vacuuming anything, and do not move contaminated clothing into clean areas. Report it. Our disturbance procedure sets out the first hour in plain, practical steps and our direct line provides live guidance, sampling and asbestos air testing where the situation requires it.
Awareness training for the whole team, a standing habit of requesting the asbestos register before any intrusive work begins, a straightforward discovery procedure and a specialist number to call for anything ambiguous. That is genuinely most of what is needed. Done properly it fits on a single page and in a toolbox talk.
Yes. We read method statements against what pre-2000 Kent buildings actually tend to contain and flag where a survey, sampling or a change in work sequence is needed before your team mobilises. Identifying the issue before the job starts is considerably cheaper than managing it after discovery on site.
Training records for every member of the team, the registers you have been provided with, permits to work and RAMS for any intrusive activities, and documentation of every discovery event including any air testing results. When something escalates, that file is what demonstrates your operation was run competently.
Both. One-off engagements for businesses getting the fundamentals in place, and retained support for those who want briefings kept current, documents maintained and a specialist available on demand throughout the year. Fixed fees apply to both arrangements.
Annual refresher is the accepted standard. Earlier updates are appropriate when roles change, when your team starts working in different building types or when regulations are amended. Retained arrangements put the refresh date into our diary so it never quietly lapses in yours.
That is our preference. Training is more effective when it takes place in the environment where the work actually happens, structured around your buildings and your specific tasks rather than generic case studies from somewhere else.
Building trades, facilities management teams, schools, landlords and managing agents across Kent, the same employers our asbestos removal across Kent operation works alongside every day. In practice, anyone whose people work inside buildings constructed before 2000, which across the county covers a very large proportion of the building stock.
