It has nothing directly to do with the building regulations used in construction which was/is the responsibility of the either a design team, or a construction team and/or building control. Finally, it has nothing directly to do with the fire engineering of the premises, the fire strategy and evacuation strategy. These are all separate functions carried out by different specialists. Fire Risk Assessment is a risk assessment of an operational premises and is a completely separate discipline and requires a very specialist skill-set. It requires a genuine, impartial, open minded approach and should never be used to justify retrospectively decisions already made. However, when relevant, a Fire Risk Assessor could refer to or question aspects of these other separate functions as part of their duties.

Equivalent regulations were introduced in Scotland and Norther Ireland.

Asbestos is a naturally occurring silicate material used in construction for over 100 years up until 1999 because of its remarkable strength, fire resistance and insulation properties. When disturbed however the highly toxic fibres are released into the air potentially causing serious lung diseases including cancers. Asbestos still kills around 5000 workers each year. WHERE CAN YOU FIND ASBESTOS? Asbestos can be found in any building built before the year 2000 including houses, factories, offices, schools hospitals, churches. Common locations within buildings include insulation boards, insulation lagging, floor or ceiling tiles, pipes, cement sheets and roofs. Asbestos in floor tiles SHOULD ASBESTOS BE REMOVED? Sometimes yes – particularly if it is a particular form, other times a management regime like enclosing the materials with special paint can ensure the area remains safe – providing professional checks are made periodically – an Asbestos Management Survey. It is a legal obligation of business owners and managers to have a duty of care for their employees, customers or residents so asbestos risk assessments must be carried out regularly to demonstrate that you are minimising any asbestos risk. If you are refurbishing or demolishing a building then safe disposal is usually recommended to ensure any risks to the work force or staff are minimised. By law you must manage or dispose of asbestos in the correct manner using properly qualified professionals who must dispose of any asbestos safely at licensed asbestos depots HOW CAN ASAP COMPLY HELP?

Presume all materials contain asbestos, unless there are good reasons not to do so. Make and maintain a written record of the location of the Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs) and any presumed ACMs. Assess and monitor the condition of and presumed ACMs. Assess the risk of exposure from ACMs and presumed ACMs. Then prepare a written plan of the actions to manage the risk i. e. the 'Asbestos Management Plan'. Take steps to see that these actions are carried out. An employer must not undertake any intrusive work in demolition, maintenance or any other work which exposes or is liable to expose employees of that employer to asbestos in respect of any premises. In addition Section 3 of the Health and Safety at work Act 1974 extends this duty of care to non-employees, visitors and members of the public. A refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before any refurbishment or demolition work is carried out. An employer must not undertake any work with ACM without having prepared a suitable written plan of work detailing how that work is to be carried out.

Some years ASAP did Asbestos Surveys for Vital Property Solutions but lost the work to a low cost producer. Read on... A property management consultancy and an asbestos surveying company were fined after an inadequate refurbishment & demolition survey was provided for a major project. Dudley Magistrates’ Court heard how Home Inspectors Southern Limited failed to identify asbestos cement and asbestos insulating board. An investigation by the HSE found that the surveyor had no training in asbestos surveying or previous work experience with a suitably qualified person or accredited organisation. The survey incorrectly advised that a non-licensed contractor could be engaged to remove the large quantity of AIB identified. Home Inspectors Southern Limited were not asked for any information by Vital Property Solutions Limited to demonstrate their asbestos surveying skills, knowledge, experience and training. Vital Property Solutions Limited of Desborough Street, High Wycombe pleaded guilty to breaching Section 3 (1) of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. The company has been fined £8,400 and ordered to pay costs of £929. 67. Home Inspectors Southern Limited were fined £4,800 and ordered to pay costs of £929. 67.

Andy Slawson our CEO urges the avoidance of complacency, the importance of using a trusted company and the need for regular Health and Safety updates. This feature accompanies an article written by Fiona Riley the chair of the @notimetolose campaign which raises awareness of significant health issues facing workers today.

Whilst the guidelines do stipulate ranges and starting points for fines in relation to a range of offences, where an organisation "very greatly exceeds the threshold for large organisations, it may be necessary to move outside the suggested range to achieve a proportionate sentence. " The guidelines set out the starting points of fines depending on the category of the offence. There are factors listed which impact upon and can increase the level of fine. These include: Previous convictions (having regard to the nature and relevance of the previous offence and the time elapsed since conviction) Cost cutting at the expense of safety Deliberate concealing of illegal nature of activity Breach of any court order Obstruction of justice Poor health & safety record Falsification of documents or licences Deliberate failure to obtain or comply with licences Targeting vulnerable victims A schedule of mitigating factors is also provided: No previous convictions or no relevant / recent convictions Evidence of steps taken voluntarily to remedy the problem High level of co-operation with the investigation, beyond that which will always be expected Good health and safety record Effective health and safety procedures in place Self-reporting co-operation and acceptance of responsibility Health and safety offences relate to the creation of a risk of harm.
