This series of joint ATaC /BOHS seminars is aimed at building surveyors, asbestos accredited inspection bodies and clients who want to find out more about the new HSE guidance on asbestos. The Health & Safety Executive (HSE) has reviewed its 'MDHS 100' guidance on asbestos surveying, which describes Type 1, 2 and 3 surveys and this document will be replaced in January with 'Managing Asbestos in Premises, the Survey Guide', which will describe management surveys and refurbishment / demolition surveys. The HSE estimates that there are between half a million and a million non-domestic properties which still contain asbestos, and there will be an increasing requirement for the more invasive refurbishment / demolition surveys which are particularly demanding.'Managing Asbestos in Premises, the Survey Guide' will therefore place far greater emphasis on competency. Each seminar will provide a packed, informative, and full day programme with expert speakers from a wide range of organisations.
