the Association’s marketing activities. Marketing of the Association and its members was seen as a key strategic objective, so much so that it was decided that a dedicated Marketing Manager was necessary. The Association have appointed Sarah Haslam as the Marketing Manager. Sarah comes with a wealth of experience, and further details of Sarah’s new role and past experience can be found in the article on page 8.

For some years now ARCA have been representing and assisting asbestos removal contractors in the Republic of Ireland. When ARCA first established the ARCA region in Ireland, one of the main objectives of the Irish members was to lobby for some kind of licensing / registration system in Ireland, for those contractors who carried out the higher risk asbestos removal work, similar to the licensing system in the UK. It became apparent that this was something that was going to be highly unlikely, mainly due to the number of specialist asbestos removal contractors being relatively small. Recently the Construction Industry Register Ireland (CIRI) has been introduced, this is a register of construction companies, sole traders and builders, that are vetted by Government nominees and industry professionals. It has been set up to help members of the public find competent, experienced construction practitioners. ARCA approached CIRI on behalf of the Irish members to request a category on the register for specialist asbestos removal companies. I am pleased to report that our request was accepted and there will now be a Government endorsed register of specialist asbestos removal companies in Ireland. We are informed that ARCA membership will go some way to meeting the criteria for entry onto the register.

Finally, I was delighted to attend the National Federation of Demolition Contractors (NFDC) ‘Demolition Luncheon Awards’ on March 13th at the Dorchester Hotel in London. I was invited to present one of the awards, the ‘Asbestos Removal Operative’ of the year award. I presented the award to Ade Parreira of Erith Group, who are also an ARCA member. Ade has been trained annually by ARCA since 2011, so I would like to think we have played a small part in Ade’s success. Many congratulations to Ade on his award.

Steve Sadley Chief Executive

J ohn Horsfall the elected ARCA Chairman for the period 2013-2015 resigned his office in

January as a result of no longer being employed by an ARCA member company.

I would like to personally place on record my thanks to John for all of his hard work and support during his terms as both Deputy ARCA Chairman 2012-2013 and ARCA Chairman up until January 2015. John was instrumental in driving the newly adopted strategic plan which has set the roadmap for the Association’s progress for the next few years. John’s commitment to the Association and its aims and objectives for the future however, have not ceased. Although not eligible to remain on the Governing Council, John has been asked to remain on the Association’s Strategy and Marketing Sub Committee, an offer he quickly accepted. I look forward to John’s continued valued input into the Association via this sub committee.

John’s resignation as Chairman meant that the Deputy ARCA Chairman, Grant Beglan, assumed the role as Chairman 8 months earlier than expected. Grant needs very little introduction, he is a former ARCA Chairman and has been a continuous member of the Associations’ Governing Council for over 15 years. I look forward to working with Grant over the next few years and continuing to implement the Association’s strategy for the benefit of the Association’s members.

The implementation of the Association’s strategy continues, each sub committee of the ARCA Governing Council has produced an action plan to map out how they will play their part in achieving the Association’s overall strategy, these action plans have been reviewed and approved by the ARCA Governing council. Each sub committee is now actively working towards their action plans. As I explained at the recent regional meetings, the Association’s strategy was very much based on the feedback I received from members at the ARCA regional meetings in early 2014. It is essential that the Association continues to meet member’s requirements and expectations, and members feedback is the tool to both set the strategy and measure whether it is working. As a result the current strategy has an objective that a member of ARCA staff visits every member at least once during a 12 month period. The feedback from these visits will assist in setting future strategic goals and measuring whether they are working.

As part of ARCA’s strategy a new sub committee, the ‘Strategy and Marketing Committee’ has been established to coordinate

Strategy, Marketing,Registration Scheme and Awards

asbestos in the news

NHS Trust fined £10,000 after workers may have been exposed to asbestos fibres.T he Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen

University Hospitals NHS Trust was prosecuted by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) after the fibres were discovered in the basement of its offices at Derwent House on London Road in January 2013.

Liverpool Magistrates’ Court heard that the organisation had failed to act on a survey carried out in 2006 which identified that an area of the basement may contain asbestos, and recommended that its condition should be properly assessed.

An HSE investigation found that workers had regularly been visiting the basement to access patient records.

The risk to them came to light on 9 January 2013 when the NHS Trust’s health and safety manager noticed that the doors to an out-of-use goods lift in the basement were damaged. The lift doors contained asbestos, which meant there was a risk of exposure to those accessing the basement.

A subsequent survey found that asbestos fibres were present in several different areas of the basement.

The Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University

Hospitals NHS Trust, of Prescot Street in Liverpool, was fined £10,000 and ordered to pay £696 in prosecution costs after pleading guilty to two breaches of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 on 26 February 2015.

Speaking after the hearing, HSE Inspector Imran Siddiqui said:

“Around 4,000 people die every year as a result of breathing in asbestos fibres, making it the biggest single cause of work-related deaths in the UK.

“It’s therefore vital that organisations take the risks from asbestos seriously. The Trust, in line with the 2006 survey, should have assumed asbestos

27 February 2015 http://press.hse.gov.uk/2015/liverpool-nhs-trust-in-court-over-deadly-asbestos-fibres/

was present in an area of the basement and taken appropriate action to make it safe for people working there.

“Instead, workers were allowed to regularly visit the basement to access patient files increasing the risk of exposure to the potentially-deadly fibres.”

Asbestos was extensively used as a building material in the 50s, 60s and 70s but it becomes dangerous if it is broken up and fibres are released. Airborne fibres can become lodged in the lungs or digestive tract and can lead to lung cancer or other diseases, but symptoms may not appear for several decades.

21 January 2015 http://press.hse.gov.uk/2015/businessman-fined-for-asbestos-failure-in-colwyn-bay/

A businessman allowed the spread of asbestos in an industrial building by not employing

licensed contractors to remove the potentially deadly material, a court has heard.

Peter Rees, the owner of a business unit in Eagle Farm Road on the Mochdre Business Park, was selling the building to another business when the incident happened in September 2012.

He appeared at Llandudno Magistrates’ Court today after an investigation by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) identified clear failings with his management of the material.

The court heard that the company purchasing the unit had commissioned an asbestos survey that showed the presence of a large amount of

asbestos insulating board.However, instead of employing a qualified and

licensed asbestos removal contractor – as the law requires – Mr Rees used a general contractor, which resulted in asbestos dust being spread inside the building.

A complaint was raised by a licensed contractor and a significant clean-up operation was then required by an authorised contractor.

Peter Rees, of York Road, Deganwy, was fined £8,000 ordered to pay £7,400 in costs after pleading guilty to a single breach of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974.

HSE Inspector, Chris Wilcox, speaking after the hearing, said:

“The potentially lethal effects of exposure to asbestos are well known.

“Mr Rees’ failure to use a qualified and licensed company to remove the asbestos led to contamination inside the building. Fortunately, HSE was made aware of the incident before it was reoccupied by the new owners.

“Anyone who owns or has control of non-domestic premises has a legal duty to manage the risk of asbestos in their buildings. When asbestos is removed, it must be done by someone who is trained and competent to do the work.”

ARCA & ATAC NEWS06

A Suffolk building company has been fined after removing asbestos insulation board

without a licence and failing to protect its workers from falls of up to four metres at a farm building in Waltham, Essex.

Workers were potentially exposed to dangerous asbestos fibres and only provided with baby wipes or access to a hose for decontamination.

Chelmsford Magistrates’ Court heard the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) was alerted by a member of the public concerned that unsafe work was being undertaken at the farm building.

HSE’s investigation found LJW Cladding Ltd did not have a licence permitting it to remove asbestos, despite telling the farm owner it held the necessary approvals. None of the workers were trained to work with licensed asbestos and were also placed in danger of falling from height while removing the fragile asbestos boards.

HSE found that the work, carried out between 26 and 28 February 2014, was woefully lacking in safety measures. Asbestos insulating boards were broken from their fixings with wholly inadequate attempts to prevent the uncontrolled release of fibres. There was no use of an enclosure and the respiratory protective equipment provided to workers offered insufficient protection.

Instead of a full three-stage decontamination unit required for such work all the workers had access to were baby wipes and the farm’s cold water hose. Contaminated overalls over normal clothing continued to be worn while the workers took their lunch break on site and also meant they could have taken asbestos contamination home with them each night.

The investigation also identified the workers were at risk of falls of up to four metres owing

to absent or inadequately installed safety netting and a harness and inertia reel being used inappropriately.

LJW Cladding Ltd of Evesham Close, Ipswich, Suffolk, was fined a total of £10,000 and ordered to pay costs of £3365.50 plus a £120 victim surcharge after pleading guilty to separate breaches of the Work at Height Regulations and the Control of Asbestos Regulations.

After the hearing, HSE Principal Inspector Dominic Elliss said:

“LJW Cladding’s incompetent actions led

to its employees being potentially exposed to asbestos fibres at a much higher level than would have been possible had a competent licensed contractor been used.

“In addition there was a serious risk one of them could fall from or through the fragile roof because the firm failed to provide effective safeguards. Too many workers continue to be seriously injured from falls in exactly this type of refurbishment project.”

North Devon housing companyand contractor put workers’ at risk

Suffolk company in court for unsafe asbestos removal

19 January 2015 http://press.hse.gov.uk/2015/north-devon-housing-company-and-contractor-put-workers-at-risk/

W orkers carrying out extensive boiler renovations on houses in Ilfracombe were

exposed to potentially-deadly asbestos because of failures by a two local companies.

Two employees of Pilkington Plumbing and Heating Ltd were allowed to carry out removal of a back boiler and to drill a wall panel at a house in Jubilee Close, Ilfracombe, after the company started work despite not receiving an asbestos survey from North Devon Homes.

The incident, on 27 September 2012, was investigated by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), which prosecuted North Devon Homes for safety failings at Barnstaple Magistrates Court today.

The court heard that Pilkington had requested asbestos survey information on the properties but decided to go ahead without having carried out

a sufficient assessment of work liable to disturb asbestos.

Instead, the contractors relied on information about asbestos on North Devon Homes’ website for contractors, but this was not specific to each property being worked on and was incomplete or misleading.

As a result, asbestos insulation board (AIB) was disturbed and the workers exposed when fillets of a fire surround were moved, an AIB panel above a door was drilled and another AIB panel moved.

Residents in the affected properties, which were all being refurbished, had been vacated during remedial works to remove asbestos containing materials.

North Devon Homes Ltd, of Westacott Road, Barnstaple, pleaded guilty to a breach of Construction (Design Management) Regulations

and was fined £1,000 and ordered to pay costs of £650.

Pilkington Plumbing and Heating Ltd, of Pilton Street, Pilton, Barnstaple pleaded guilty to two breaches of Control of Asbestos Regulations at an earlier hearing before the same court (on 8 October) and was fined £1,500 with £642 costs.

HSE Inspector Barry Trudgian, speaking after the hearing, said:

“As a result of North Devon Homes’ failure to provide the required information and Pilkington not waiting for the asbestos details before starting work, two workers have been needlessly exposed to asbestos.

“The risks associated with asbestos in housing stock are well-known and the regulations governing its removal are long-standing. This incident could have been avoided if Pilkington had carried out a suitable and sufficient assessment of the work liable to disturb asbestos.”

F ollowing the ARCA AGM last year it was necessary to appoint a new ARCA Deputy

Chairman, and following an ARCA Governing Council election I was duly elected the ARCA Deputy Chairman.

The role of the ARCA Deputy Chairman is to support the Chairman and eventually become the Chairman once the current Chairman’s term of office ceases. The last thing I expected was to be taking up the post some eight months early and having a term of nearly three years due to the resignation of John Horsfall as Chairman. This was as a result of John becoming ineligible to sit on the Governing Council, and therefore ineligible to hold the office of Chairman.

John instigated a strategic review of the Association, which culminated in the Governing Council producing a strategic plan which required the production of action plans for all our committees, with the overall aim of taking the Association forwards. My plan is to ensure this process is set in stone. Between now and the Association’s AGM in October I will be working to

ensure the strategic plan remains on course. I look forward to reporting on progress at the AGM.

I am pleased to report that the Association’s Governing Council has begun instigating the new strategy and all ARCA Committees and ARCA management teams have focused strongly on the aims objectives. The Association is already on target to achieve our overall objectives, which will ultimately help to further promote the professional services of ARCA members.

I have been privileged to witness, and be part of, the growth of our Association over the last 25 years. ARCA now represents over 350 members in various membership categories. ARCA continues to work closely with the key stakeholders within our industry to improve standards throughout the asbestos management sector. ARCA will continue to ensure that the ARCA brand remains a mark of quality.

One thing has not changed since my previous term as Chairman of the Association in 2005, and that is that it is still is a huge honour to be the Chairman of ARCA. I feel privileged be given the opportunity once again. I will be leading ARCA into new and exciting times now that the economy is starting to improve and confidence in the construction sector is growing. There will be benefits in the future for those companies that continue to demonstrate regulatory compliance via effective management arrangements. It has become even harder for new companies, or existing companies looking to diversify, to enter

our market. My personal opinion is that there will be fewer licenced asbestos removal contractors removing asbestos in the next decade, as the criteria for holding an asbestos removal licence become more stringent.

The Asbestos Liaison Group (ALG) has stated that the Government believe the setting of standards is down to industry, and not the role of the HSE. As a result HSE have stated that they are looking for industry to produce its own guidance. To a certain extent ARCA are already doing that through our representation on the various industry forums and technical groups. ARCA’s contribution by Steve Sadley on the ALG is a great example of this.

The needs of our members are important to ARCA. The Association has invested in more resources, management, I.T., training and marketing to meet your needs. The strategic plan includes an undertaking to visit all members to listen to your views, understand your individual needs and what your expectations of ARCA membership are. We know these may well vary, and recognise that not every member will have the same requirements. The information we take away from these meetings will form the basis of our focus for the future. I hope to meet as many of our members as possible over the next two and half years and I look forward to sharing your thoughts on what the association is striving to achieve.

Grant Beglan Chairman

A Message fromARCA’s New Chairman- Grant Beglan of Aspect Contracts

A RCA is pleased to have appointed Sarah Haslam as ARCA’s Marketing Manager.

Sarah brings a wealth of experience and knowledge of marketing communications. We are sure that the addition of Sarah to our team will continue to ensure that ARCA is seen as a prominent leader within the industry. We asked Sarah to tell us about herself, this is what she told us.

“Since leaving university my career has been in marketing, during which time I have enjoyed working in a number of UK, European and US companies, large and small, with international sales and marketing strategies.

Before joining ARCA I worked for a manufacturing company within the renewable energy sector where I managed the marketing communications strategy - the delivery of which

resulted in an increase in brand awareness and supported growth in market share. This was an interesting time as individuals and businesses looked at ways of producing their own green energy.

Previously, I was the marketing manager for a geo-information company, and before that I spent a number of years within the electronics industry developing and managing global marketing programmes. This included managing the marketing strategy for launching a company into the North American market, and not long after that, I joined Motorola.

Within all my roles I have gained experience from developing corporate identities to web sites and media relations, so I believe I have strong marketing skills to support ARCA in its next steps.

I joined ARCA a few weeks ago, so I have already

had the pleasure of meeting some members at regional meetings. I am looking forward to working with the team to deliver the marketing strategy and specific marketing campaigns to support the association and its members. In fact, I have a number of campaigns already in planning and one should be implemented by the time you read this!”

Steve Sadley, ARCA Chief Executive commented, “I am absolutely delighted to have Sarah working for ARCA. Marketing of both the Association and its members is a key element of the Associations future strategy. Sarah brings a wealth of experience in marketing communications to complement the existing ARCA management team and assist us in delivering the Association’s strategy .”

E mpire Tapes have been touring the

country and presenting their products and

services at the recent round of ARCA regional

meetings. From Bristol to Glasgow via Burton

upon Trent, Rayleigh, Huddersfield, and even

across to Dublin, Empire Tapes have been

showcasing their new range of products.

It was a typical overcast Glasgow afternoon

when David Kershaw of Empire met Steve

Sadley of ARCA in a Hotel Coffee bar just prior

to ARCA’s regional meeting in Scotland. “You

know Steve, re-joining ARCA was one of the

first things I did when I took over the Asbestos

Division of Empire in January this year, in fact it

was at the top of my list of “things to do” as soon

as I took over”. Empire had been an associate

member for many years, but in recent years

had allowed its membership to lapse, I felt it

was crucial for Empire to get involved with this

“representative professional body” as soon as

possible in order to determine its course and to

ensure it reached its target demographic... the

professional asbestos stripping companies”.

I think it is easy to see the complete logic of

any asbestos contractor coming together with

any supply company or service provider within

the framework of a professional organisation like

ARCA.

You know Steve, both you and your staff and

the entire organisation of ARCA are “confidence

inspiring” from the moment you step into your

offices at either Burton Upon Trent or Rayleigh

in Essex you feel like you are in the hands of an

organisation that takes its representation of its

members within this industry with absolute

professional integrity.

I think it is really important to impress upon

your members that the “ethos” of the way

Empire “thinks” is shared by me and the owners

of Empire, Mark Stanley and Dean Sherriff and

Empire Tapes ARCA Regional Meeting Tour

that is to offer the best products and services

at the most competitive rates! And before you

accuse me of being “salesy” let me impress on

you what I mean… Both Mark and I have been

involved in this industry for 25 years. That is

half a century of accumulated knowledge! We

are very aggressive sales people and marketing

tacticians and that makes us acutely aware of

how this market place works!

Now at Empire we believe a penny saved

is every bit as good as a penny earned and so

we want to offer the widest possible choice

and offer the most competition against the

“established” brands and that is why we have

already introduced new NPU’s, DCU’s and

Modular Unit’s; and in the coming months we

are introducing new Powered Respirators as

well as “H” Type Vacs. In fact we are introducing

entire new ranges of choice and that has to be

incredibly good news to ARCA members!

We will look forward to working with ARCA

over the coming months and years, rest assured

we will be introducing ARCA to all those we

meet who are not currently members as we

think this is the best organisation to forge an

unbeatable association with!

health & safety

S ignificant changes to the CDM Regulations are due to come into force on 6 April 2015,

which will change the management of health and safety in the construction industry.

We have set out below a summary of the main changes to the CDM Regulations. ARCA members should note that the main changes will affect clients and designers, with the role of CDM Co-ordinator being removed under the 2015 CDM Regulations.

Notification The notification threshold will change, so

that HSE will need to be notified about projects exceeding 500 person days or “longer than 30 working days” with “more than 20 workers working simultaneously”. This should reduce the number of notifiable projects.

Notification no longer triggersadditional duties The notification threshold no longer triggers

the additional duties under the CDM Regulation. The additional CDM duties are triggered by more than one contractor being involved in a project.

Removal of the CDM co-ordinatorand introduction of the principaldesigner A major change is the removal of the CDM

Co-ordinator role and introduction of the new “principal designer” role.

The principal designer must be appointed by the client in writing otherwise the client carries out the duties of the principal designer. It appears that the principal designer’s duties are primarily related to the pre-construction phase

of the project, with the client taking over the responsibility for co-ordinating and managing health and safety for the construction phase of the project.

Domestic clientsThe Regulations now apply to all “clients”,

namely “any person” for whom a construction project is carried out and this means domestic clients will be subject to the new Regulations.

However, domestic clients will be able to delegate the majority of their duties to a principal designer or principal contractor.

It is not yet clear how these changes will impact on small domestic projects. ARCA members should be aware of this change when involved in asbestos removal work for a domestic client and/or carrying out work for a domestic client as the main contractor.

Client dutiesThe client must ensure that the Principal

Designer and the Principal Contractor comply with their duties. There is no clear guidance or provision as to how this is to be done, but ARCA members should be aware that they are likely to receive more contact and enquiries from clients in relation to their training, experience and relevant certification.

The client will now be responsible for notifying the HSE of a project by way of the F10 notification. Again, it may be worth ARCA members ensuring that any projects that they are involved in have been properly notified to the HSE.

Transitionw For projects which will complete before 6

April no action is required. w For projects where the construction phase

has not started by 6 April, with more than one contractor and where a CDM Co-ordinator has not been appointed, the client must appoint a principal designer rather than a CDM Co-ordinator.

w For projects underway on 6 April where a CDM Co-ordinator is appointed, the client must appoint a principal designer by 6 October 2015. In the interim, the CDM Co-ordinator must comply with the principal designer duties set out in the 2015 CDM Regulations.

ConclusionThe immediate impact for ARCA members

is that for any projects starting after 6 April, they will be operating under a new regime, which will be quite different to the health and safety arrangements under the existing CDM Regulations. ARCA members will be more involved in liaising with the principal designer and the client in relation to health and safety information and planning.

It is fair to say that it is not yet clear how some of the changes will operate in practice, particularly the role and duties of the principle designer and the client’s role. Draft guidance in relation to the new CDM Regulations is available on the HSE website, but it is hoped that the HSE will publish further guidance in due course.

guideline updates

Objective1) This note replaces ARCA Guidance Note 17 (published in August 2007). The previous information has been reviewed and revised in light of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR) and accompanying Approved Code of Practice (ACOP) and guidance.

Textured decorative coatings 2) Regulation 2 of CAR defines textured decorative coatings as “decorative and textured finishes, such as paints and ceiling and wall plasters which are used to produce visual effects and which contain asbestos. These coatings are designed to be decorative and any thermal or acoustic properties are incidental to their purpose”. The proportion of asbestos typically found in such coatings is between 2 and 5% (chrysotile, by weight).

Categories of work: licensed, notifiable non-licensed work (NNLW) and non-licensed work3) Regardless of category, the main provisions of CAR will apply to any work on textured decorative coatings (TDC). In particular,

a) all work must be thoroughly assessed;

b) a plan must be in place to prevent (or reduce) exposure and spread and

c) work must only be carried out by trained and competent staff, using appropriate control measures.

4) Appropriately controlled work with textured decorative coating will not be licensable work: exposure will be less than ‘sporadic and low intensity’, the control limit will not be exceeded and the other specified categories of work do not apply.

5) The following conditions determine whether work on textured coatings will be NNLW or non-licensed. If any of the following conditions apply, then the work is non-licensed:

a) Work is short, non-continuous maintenance activity

b) Removal work can be carried out without deterioration of non-degraded materials where asbestos fibres are firmly linked in the matrix

c) Work involves the encapsulation/sealing of coatings in good condition

d) Work is limited to air monitoring, sampling etc.

6) Guidance at paragraph 59 of the ACOP give practical examples of the kind of work that is non-licensed. These are supported by Asbestos Essentials task sheets (a26-a29, see link below).

a) Removal of small areas of TDC using gel/steam, in support of other maintenance activities. For example, when installing fire alarms or light fittings, or the removal of similarly small areas in the event of water damage.

b) Removal of TDC without deterioration, for example, removing backing boards to achieve virtually intact removal.

c) Drilling through decorative coating in order to install fixtures and fittings.

7) Any larger scale activities will be considered NNLW and regulations 9 (notifications), 18 (designated areas) and 22 (medical surveillance) will apply:

a) A notification (through HSE’s web portal) is required prior to starting work.

b) Designated areas need to be defined prior to work, with access restricted to competent staff and workers need to be under medical surveillance.

c) Employees carrying out NNLW must have a medical examination on, or before 30 April 2015: “From 1 May 2015, anyone carrying out NNLW should have been medically examined uner the Regulations in the past three years.” Medicals for such employees need to be repeated every three years.

w Correctly serviced and maintained class H vacuum cleaner.

w Provision of adequate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Unlike licensed asbestos work, coveralls may be worn over clothing, but see the note below on welfare arrangements.

w Provision of suitable Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE), such as ori-nasal mask with P3 filter. Face fit testing must confirm a good fit for each user.

w Adequate procedures to ensure visual cleanliness on completion of the work.

w Provision for waste carriage and disposal.

w Suitable insurance: clients should ensure that contractors engaged in TDC work have the appropriate insurance cover relating to asbestos.

w There is a need to control general dust, for example during the removal of lath and plaster ceilings. Welfare facilities including showers will be required where the work is particularly dirty or dusty: Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002, and the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM 2015) are likely to apply.

Standards of control –further detail8) Controls for ‘small scale works’ are described in Asbestos Essentials. Where more substantial work is undertaken, the following standards should be achieved.

a) Enclosure

i) A full enclosure is required, with negative pressure units capable of providing an airflow of at least 500m3/hour, see paragraph 386 of the ACOP.

ii) Access to the enclosure should be via a 2-stage airlock, to allow for the controlled

removal of work equipment, minimising the spread of dust and debris from the working area. In the inner stage, workers should vacuum (using a H-Class vaccuum cleaner), wash footwear and wipe RPE. PPE and RPE should be removed in the outer stage.

b) TDC Removal methods

i) Textured coatings on board: the most effective method is to remove the board complete.

ii) Removal of asbestos containing textured coating on concrete, brick, or block: the use of abrasive methods should be used with caution and only after adequate risk assessments have been carried out.

iii) Chemical treatments have been found to be very effective; non-toxic products are available and should always be chosen.

iv) Steaming methods are not recommended as this can lead to operatives suffering heat stress within the confines of an asbestos enclosure.

9) Welfare arrangements

a) Duties are placed on the client, contractor, and principal contractor to ensure that welfare facilities are provided. The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 require suitable and sufficient washing facilities, including showers if required by the nature of the work. Shower facilities are likely to be appropriate for anything other than minor TDC removal. This is in line with what would be expected for any other similarly “dirty” construction work.

10) Cleanliness and reoccupation

a) A thorough visual inspection should be carried out to ensure that the work area has been thoroughly cleaned and

that no visible traces of dust and debris remain. HSE’s Asbestos Essentials sheet EM10, provides a template ‘Statement of cleanliness after textured coating removal’.

11) Waste disposal. All waste should be:

a) double-bagged or double-wrapped in plastic sheeting with the correct hazard warning signs attached

b) carried in a sealed skip (or in a vehicle with a segregated compartment for the asbestos, easily cleanable and lockable) or transported by a registered waste carrier

c) disposed of at a licensed disposal site

d) accompanied by a completed Waste Consignment Note.

Background1) Electrical hazards can be a significant issue for asbestos removal companies: poorly managed work on or near electrical equipment can be fatal, but risk assessments and plans of work often fail to demonstrate a thorough site-specific assessment of risk, in order to identify appropriate control measures. The most ‘straightforward’ AIB removal job will be complicated by the presence of light fixtures and fittings.

2) Controlled asbestos removal necessarily involves the application of water and surfactant increasing electrical safety risks. In addition, asbestos removal contractors are often required to work in voids etc. where live conductors are likely to be found. This note presents a brief overview of requirements in such circumstances.

3) Electrical risks can arise in many other forms: poorly maintained / inappropriate electrical equipment, buried cables, overhead lines etc. In all cases, your ‘general assessment’ of the work should have identified standard procedures for carrying out work safely. Site specific assessments and methods will build on these general procedures and take into account significant risks present on any given particular site.

Key points

Risk Assessment, Health and Safety Management and Electrical Risks 4) The Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety Regulations 1999 set out legal requirements for controlling significant risks arising from work activities. Asbestos contractors often refer to the Control of Asbestos Regulations and associated Approved Code of Practice, but any significant risks whether asbestos related or not, should be addressed in the site-specific

plan of work for asbestos removal. The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations place specific duties on contractors and clients, focusing on effective planning, coordination and competence.

5) The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 (EAW) require safe systems of work to be in place and also that employees have appropriate technical knowledge, tools, test equipment and personal protective equipment. With regard to the potential for working near live conductors, the regulations state that:

Electrical isolations andasbestos work

When is isolation likely to be appropriate?

When removal work requires staff to work on or near live conductors. For example:•removing electrical equipment (lighting, machinery, fuse-boxes)•using surfactant near light fittings or cable runsEquipment / conductors will be considered to be live unless they have been positively identified as dead.

What does a ‘good’isolation look like?

A locked-off switch (with warning sign attached); the unique key should be under the control of the people doing the work. Verbal confirmation of an isolation is not sufficient.

Whose responsibility is it? The licensed contractor, as employer, always has a basic duty to ensure safe systems of work etc. Isolations are likely to require cooperation and coordination with a number of parties: the licence holder, client, principal contractor etc.

ARCA & ATAC NEWS 17

guideline updates

No person shall be engaged in any work on / near live conductors unless

(a) It is unreasonable in all the circumstances for it to be dead, AND

(b) It is reasonable in all the circumstances for him to be at work on or near it while it is live; AND

(c) Suitable precautions are taken to prevent injury.

6) In practice, it is likely to be considered reasonable to make live conductors dead prior to ‘standard’ asbestos removal jobs; one of the purposes of the notification / planning requirements is to for allow all necessary preparaiton to be carried out.

7) Multiple parties (clients, principal contractors, asbestos removal contractors etc.) may have a part to play in ensuring that a work site is safe and healthy. The key is co-ordination, effective communication and co-operation between all those involved. Contractors often rely on others to ensure that electrical isolations are in place. Where this is the case, there should be very clear confirmation of how this has been achieved. The standards for isolations are described below: verbal assurances that isolations have been made are not sufficient and reasonable enquiries should be made to check the competency of those carrying out the isolations.

General procedures8) Asbestos removal teams should not work in the vicinity of live conductors: accidental contact (or contact with surfactant) can be fatal and it is relatively simple to isolate circuits and check they are dead. Live working is generally only acceptable where, for example, trained electricians are fault-finding or testing and suitable precautions are in place to prevent injury.

9) Adequate planning, Standard Procedures, basic awareness training and choice of equipment should ensure significant electrical risks are controlled for asbestos removal companies.

a) Managers should be able to:

i) Liaise with clients regarding power requirements and limitations.

ii) Carry out site specific assessments that include consideration of any live or suspect equipment and conductors. Where it is foreseeable that staff / suppression liquids could come into contact with live conductors,

arrangements must be made for isolation and in most cases, this will be the significant finding of the assessment that will need to be recorded.

iii) Produce a plan of work that is clear on how isolation is expected to be demonstrated. Successful isolation should be recorded as a hold point, or similar.

b) Site teams should be able to:

i) Look for (potential) conductors etc. as part of their routine on-site assessments before starting work;

ii) Identify situations where work would be expected to STOP until suitable isolations and assurances are provided.

Methods of isolation10) Isolation means making a circuit dead and preventing it from becoming charged during the work. In other words, circuits must be locked off and controlled. Switching off, removing a fuse or covering a switch with masking tape etc. are easily bypassed. Those doing the work need to be confident that the means of disconnection is secure and it is highly recommended that a caution notice or label is attached at the point of disconnection, in addition to any other measures taken.

11) Isolation using a main switch, or distribution board switch-disconnector is the preferred method. It should be locked off using a unique key, which is controlled by the person carrying out the work or another appointed person, with a warning notice attached.

12) Electrical Safety First guidance (see below) describes a number of alternative means of isolation. It is important to remember that the following approaches are NOT acceptable:

a) Placing insulating tape over circuit breakers

b) Removing individual fuses without considering the use of lockable fuse inserts and lockable fuse board doors AND caution notices etc.

Proving dead13) It is vitally important to establish that the isolation point is correctly identified: where there can be doubt, competent electricians should carry out tests to ensure that the isolation point being used is the correct one.

14) Following isolation and before starting

work, it should be proved that all relevant equipment is dead. This is done using a test lamp or voltage detector etc. Unused or unidentified cables must be assumed to be live unless they are proved to be dead and isolated.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)15) There are various items of protective equipment designed to reduce the risk of contact with live parts or earth (insulating gloves, matting, tools, ladders etc.). Where PPE is used, it is vitally important to ensure that it is well maintained and used correctly. However, it must be remembered that personal protective equipment is a ‘last resort’ and is used where risks can not be controlled in other ways. Isolation will generally be considered to be “reasonably practicable” and should always be the preferred control method.

Sources of further informationThe Health and Safety at Work Act sets out general duties to (so far as reasonably practicable) ensure health and safety. The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 describe a general approach to assessing risks and ensuring significant findings are acted upon. The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 (EAW) specifically address electrical risks but the general approach is very similar to other health and safety legal provisions.

D KF Recruitment is the first company to join ARCA through the recently created,

Asbestos Labour Supply Membership. Organisations applying must be able to

demonstrate that they are leaders in the field of co-ordinating temporary asbestos labour to the highest possible standard. DKF Recruitment was keen to be perceived as a pioneer, setting the standard, and have been awarded the industry first following a rigorous application and development process. Dominic Fagan, Managing Director of DKF Recruitment explains why membership is critical for the growth and development of his business:

“Having worked within the specialist sector of asbestos related recruitment for many years, I fully recognise the importance and value of ARCA membership. With DKF little over a year old, my experience and understanding of the industry and the importance of ARCA drove me forward, lobbying to create a new category where labour suppliers can benefit from full affiliation and have their voice heard within a leading industry body.

“The HSE’s decision to scrap the category of licensing for asbestos labour suppliers has caused chaos for many businesses with established labour agencies / recruitment companies adversely affected by changes to standards, leading to increased (but not quality) competition. Previously the requirements of the licensing regime (and initial assessment) meant that there were only a handful of asbestos labour agencies as others couldn’t reach the required level, with recent changes now in place this has changed the landscape of our industry. The value of ARCA membership therefore is now even more paramount and we wanted to be considered trailblazers setting the standards for others to follow.

Dominic’s experience and deep rooted

knowledge of the sector has helped shape the fledging business. He added:

“Having spent many years as a senior figure within a market leading specialist, and once the HSE announced their decisions to abolish the licence category for labour suppliers, I knew that the industry would change in many ways and a new approach would be needed. We offer a new and refreshing approach, considering absolutely every aspect of our operation and our clients operation. For example, we monitor and asses all of the operatives we supply on a weekly basis in key areas of their work including their presentation, attitude to work, condition of RPE, transit and decontamination procedures as well as setting up the work site.

“We also consider our operatives abilities on some key and specific asbestos removal tasks / duties. This is scored from 1 – 5 with 1 being ‘Unsatisfactory & Improvement Required’ to 5 ‘Excellent’. We have a database where we keep all of the operative assessment scores so that we can identify areas where our operatives need improvement (which could be from a ‘tool-box’ talk through to a complete re-training exercise focused on the specific areas where improvements are required). The database also allows us to select operatives who receive high scores in certain tasks and match them to the specifics of a client’s requirements where the same tasks will be required to be completed on a forthcoming project. This adds immense value to our clients essentially matching the right candidate to the right job.“On a personal level, I have more operational experience in asbestos labour recruitment than any other agency can claim to have and I was an elected member of ARCA’s governing council for over six years. I’m also a big believer in training my

office staff to anexceptionally highstandard so that they fully understand the industry, our client’s needs and the skills of our site operatives. Richard Branson’s quote: “Train people well enough so they can leave, treat them well enough so they don’t want to”, is very much in line with the DKF ethos.

“My own experience was key in securing the first accepted membership for the new category. Through the application process, ARCA’s compliance manager carried out a thorough audit of our policies, procedures, experience, record keeping, compliance with both asbestos and recruitment regulations and evidence we carry out thorough and in-depth Training Needs Analysis (TNA). We passed the audit with flying colours and recently received our official membership certificate

“Undoubtedly, the accreditation confirms to licensed contractors that we are a professional company committed to investing funds in our workforce with the overall aim of raising standards. Holding this accreditation demonstrates to the industry that we have been assessed in key areas and that they can have increased faith and trust in a company who meets the criteria and membership requirements. The bar has been set at a high level to dissuade the uneducated, keen to make a ‘quick buck’, but at an attainable level for asbestos industry specialists – like DKF.”

AVOIDING ‘PILES’ OF DATAElectronically collecting your data is a

good start, but doing so without a well

thought-out parent system leaves you

rapidly accumulating piles of data and an

even larger problem of how to sort it and

process it.

TEAMS takes a very direct approach to

this. Instead of providing you with a generic

data collection system, we go beyond and

provide you with an end to end system

starting in the office, moving down to site,

and then back to the office, much like the

natural cycle of the work itself.

As this work originally starts life in the

office as an enquiry, quote or a job, this

means that when the data is collected in the

field and returned to the office, the data is

expected. The system is awaiting the data’s

arrival from the field staff, so when it arrives

the system automatically moves the relevant

parts of this data to the relevant parts of the

system to be processed further. Likewise,

once a department has completed their

tasks with it, the data again automatically

progresses to the next stage of the process.

This approach means less ‘piles’ of

data building up, and more organised

information arriving automatically in the

relevant department who are expecting it.

In a sense, the system sorts the data itself as

it knows what the data means and where it

needs to show up next to help you progress

the jobs quicker.

REPORT GENERATION vsREPORT MANIPULATION TEAMS looks to continually optimise the

report production process using a variety of

collection as well as throughout the office

environment. This means less and less ‘bad’

data can be collected, making the report

generation process more and more robust.

In essence, as the data in TEAMS is

defined and the process mapped out, the

admin associated with producing reports is

significantly reduced, but we do keep things

in perspective.

Producing fully automatic reports solely

based on the data collected and without

any human insight or understanding tips

the scales the wrong way, so important QC

processes are built directly into TEAMS

at several key junctions to force the user

to stop and think about what is being

produced and reported.

This is a key difference which is evident

time and time again when looking at

different systems. The more generic the

system, the more time is needed to correct

the reports so that they are actually

meaningful and fit to issue to clients.

DATA EXPORTSGeneric data collection systems also have

problems when we look beyond the report

production stage and further down the line

towards the end client. Exporting data is

nothing new, and its very common practice

for a surveying company to not only provide

the reports to clients, but also provide the

data to populate 3rd party systems.

This is no problem unless the report

itself has had to be manipulated heavily to

make it accurate and meaningful but the

underlying data that was initially collected

to produce the report was not adjusted as

well. Suddenly the report you have issued is

different to the data you have supplied and

marrying these up takes more time than you

initially first saved. As TEAMS goes beyond

data collection and provides the full end

to end process, we do aim to offer relief to

these situations.

W ould it be a fair cop if an employer’s video surveillance recorded misconduct by an

employee? Can an employer put his employees under video surveillance or enter the email records on computers used by employees to find acts of misconduct?

A century ago, Henry Ford used to send snoops round to check on his employees at home to ensure that standards of hygiene were maintained by his car workers.

Today Article 8 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (the convention) would put a stop to that kind of snooping. The convention has been adopted into English law by the Human Rights Act 1998.

Video SurveillanceIt all comes down to an expectation of privacy.

Is it reasonable for the employee to harbour an expectation of privacy? So when an employee goes about their normal work activities or during down time, for example lunch breaks, is it reasonable for the employee to expect that his privacy is respected and that his movements are not recorded and held on video.

Privacy is not surrendered just because the employee enters the employer’s premises to work. The right to privacy continues, although perhaps the standard of privacy that can be expected is lower.

All things equal, the employee can expect privacy. So if the employer videos the workforce, the employee will be able to lodge a claim under the Human Rights Act 1998.

EmailsNearly all office staff enjoy use of email to

enable them to do their job. The staff will also have access to the internet for the same reason. Nearly all office staff will use the office email to send private emails and peruse the net to buy their other half’s birthday presents. Some staff may use their own private email addresses from their employer’s terminals.

On occasions these facilities are misused and sometimes serious disciplinary offences are committed e.g. visits to pornographic sites or preparations made by staff to steal their employer’s customers.

To monitor employees, the employer will need to enter the employees’ computer to see what they have been up to.

Stop right there. The Human Rights Act is now supported by

the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 (wonderfully shortened to RIPA) in stopping the employer doing any such thing. Even if the employer owns the computers, pays for the electricity to power them, and the illicit use occurred during work hours, the employer will not overcome the combined forces of the Human Rights Act and RIPA.

It’s that demon, the expectation of privacy again.

The solutionSlay the expectation of privacy. If the employer wishes to install video recording

equipment in the work place, put up signs saying

that video recording is taking place everywhere. By removing any reasonable expectation that an employee’s presence at work can give rise to privacy, it cannot be relied upon to found a claim for breach of it.

The signs should be boosted by clauses in the contract of employment clearly removing the expectation of privacy.

The expectation of privacy for computer use, including emails is particularly aided by RIPA.

The solution again is to kill the expectation of privacy. This is best done with a clause in the contract of employment. Employers are advised to go further and amend the email signature which appears at the bottom, every single time an email is sent. The amendment should remove the dreaded expectation of privacy. Zealots in the legal world want to go further and say no employee should be able to get beyond the signing in screen without ticking the no privacy box.

If employers want a copy of the wording Sharma Solicitors themselves use to remove the expectation of privacy for emails, fax, or telephone use; dare we say, email us and we will be happy to supply the script (free of charge).

Our advice to employees is the next time you have been framed, make sure it is only Harry Hill offering you 250 quid.

asbestos in schools

TheDepartmentforEducation

has reviewed its policy on asbestos

management in schools and invited

views from stakeholders through a

call for evidence.

The steps they will take are:

a) Develop better and more

targeted guidance on asbestos

management in schools.

b) Enhance the scrutiny on duty

holders for managing asbestos in

their schools.

c) Look at ways to improve their

evidence base, including thorough

air sampling in schools.

d) Continue to fund the removal

of asbestos where appropriate,

directly and indirectly, through

their funding programmes.

e) Encourage more academies

to join the Risk Protection

Arrangement.

In February 2015 the Department announced over £6 billion of new investment to improve the condition of the school estate.

The Department of Health’s Committee on Carcinogenicity looked into the potential harm caused to children by asbestos exposure. They concluded that, due to their longer life expectancy and the long latency period for the disease to develop, children have an increased lifetime risk of developing mesothelioma compared to adults if exposed to a given dose of asbestos.

The Duty HolderUnder the Control of Asbestos

Regulations 2012, the primary responsibility for managing asbestos in a school lies with the duty holder. (The Duty Holder is anyone who has responsibility for the maintenance and/or repair of a building).

In schools this generally means the Duty Holder is the employer. Typically, for community schools, community special schools, voluntary-controlled schools, maintained nursery schools and pupil referral units, the employer is the local authority. For academies, free schools, voluntary-aided and foundation schools, it will be the school governors or academy trust. For independent schools, it may be the proprietor, governors or trustees.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE)The HSE’s view is that schools, overall, are

low risk health and safety environments, similar to offices or retail premises. They focus their inspection resources on higher risk industries such as construction. However, in recent years, the HSE has conducted survey of a sample of school Duty Holders to assess their compliance with regulations.

The Department for Education (DfE) The DfE’s role is to support schools in

ensuring they provide a safe learning and working environment for their pupils and staff, and help make sure Duty Holders are aware of their responsibilities and take them seriously.

The DfE have stressed the importance that the approach that they and those directly responsible for schools, take to asbestos management is tailored to the nature and extent of the risk of exposure.

In their assessment of the evidence about the risk posed by asbestos in schools the

asbestos in schools

Department has been led by the HSE. They are the regulator in this area and have the necessary expertise to make the proper assessment of the evidence and the risks.

Funding, and the phased removal ofasbestos from schoolsThe Department directly funds the

appropriate removal of asbestos through its centrally administered rebuilding schemes, such as the Priority Schools Building Programme. They also allocate funding to local authorities, multi-academy trusts and other bodies responsible for schools for them to spend on improving the condition of their school buildings. These bodies are free to use the funding to manage asbestos in their schools and where appropriate to remove it.

Going forwardDfE have said that access to their guidance

and awareness has to improve. They have worked with their stakeholders to revise their guidance and a new version will be

published shortly. This (according to them) will be user friendly and easily accessible and offer practical and straightforward advice on how Duty Holders and school staff should manage asbestos in their schools.

Establishing a better evidence baseThe review, and particular the Committee

on Carcinogenicity on the vulnerability of children to asbestos, highlighted the lack of contemporary evidence about the range of airborne levels of asbestos in schools. This was due partly, to the difficulty of conducting robust, representative and accurate studies. Existing techniques for sampling asbestos fibres in air are either imprecise or costly and time-consuming, requiring a high level of expertise to carry out and interpret the results.

At present the DfE is working actively with the HSE to establish the feasibility and optimal design of a new study into the background levels of asbestos fibres in schools. Due to the complex nature of air sampling, the HSE advises that any

such study is likely to take several years to complete. They expect the study to begin by 2016.

Risk Protection and InsuranceAsbestos risks are not generally covered by

public liability insurance. Local authorities will often “self-insure” but this is not generally available to schools outside local authority control.

The Risk Protection Agreement (RPA) is now available to academy trusts. This offers reimbursements to academies in the event of a loss and includes the legal liability to pay compensation to employees and third parties for death or injury as a result of asbestos exposure.

Asbestos decontamination units are being used frequently by many workers and

therefore require deep cleaning to maintain acceptable hygiene standards.

Often regular chemicals and standard cleaning are not enough to disinfect the unit. Asbestos workers can be exposed to bacteria and viruses as a result of poor sanitation within decontamination units. The use of steam as a sanitising agent eliminates the bacteria that thrive in such environments. The benefits of regular DCU cleaning will help to provide a safe and healthy workplace, improve the condition of the unit and restore its looks amongst other benefits.

DCU deep cleaning andsanitising includes:w A deep clean of the exterior and interior of

decontamination units: steam will kill all bacteria and eliminate any unpleasant odours; The DCU’s hygiene standard and appearance will be significantly improved and most fine scratches on the unit are rendered invisible.

w The DCU will be subject to a swab test before and after the cleaning: The test will show the level of

bacteria before and after thus presenting evidence of a full clean.

w The DCU silicon seals will be replaced: a final touch to help prevent mould spread and improve the units appearance.

w Steamremovalofanylimescale,dirtingrovesand scratches: much more effective than traditional cleaning.

w Guaranteedsatisfaction:duringaHealthandSafetyauditorHSEvisit.

In addition to steam cleaning we also offer a permanent protective coating to keep your DCU in good condition. We use the latest most advanced product range from Ceramic Pro, this distinguishes us from our competition. The Ceramic Pro range offers a series of protective coatings suitable for a variety of surfaces such as Paint, Glass, Alloy, Fabric, Leather, Plastic and Rubber.

Safe sanitation for decontamination unitsGreenSteam UK is leading the way by introducing the first commercial-grade mobile steam cleaning services.GreenSteamUKisthefirstcompanyofferinguniqueandprovencleaningandsanitationofdecontaminationunitsandotherequipmentwidelyusedintheasbestos industry. The company has identified a need in the industry for thorough and safe sanitation and is currently providing steam cleaning services. The service differs significantly from traditional cleaning and offers many more benefits. It is safe, ecofriendly and delivers magnificent results.

How does it work?The eco-friendly application of steam cleaning

does not generate wastewater meaning it can be used anywhere without the need for permits and providing business flexibility. Our commercial steam cleaners are able to produce saturated steam (dry steam) and condensated steam (wet steam) depending upon the application required.

Steam is safe to use on almost any surface. The contact temperature is easily controlled by increasing or decreasing the distance between the steam gun and the surface being cleaned.

The heat of the steam breaks up most of soil, grease and grime and reduces the need for chemicals normally used in the cleaning process by 90%. The gentle pressure of steam works as an all –in-one air compressor and natural sanitizer, removing the need for an air compressor.

Advantages of steam cleaning:w Deep sanitation and disinfection w Consumes a fraction of the water to do the same jobw No waste water run off or oversprayw Eco-friendlyandcompliantwithEUlegislation cleaningw Can clean hard to reach and/or water sensitive areasw Chemical free sanitationw Removes stains, odours, grease, bacteria, mould, yeast and fungiw Can be used on a wide variety of surfaces (plastic, metal, wood, leather etc.)

R ecently Erith strengthened the management team of its asbestos division with the

appointment of Andy Watson.With over 33 years working in industrial

services, Andy brings a wealth of experience in the petrochemical, power and nuclear markets. His specialist commercial and technical project management skills will be put to good use as Erith develop in the heavy industrial sector.

During his career Andy’s work has been predominantly within the high hazard regulated sector - undertaking maintenance, decommissioning and construction based activities serving domestic, industrial and commercial clients.

Andy has carried out an array of industrial construction/maintenance schemes at some of the UK’s largest fossil fuelled power generating sites - ranging from Fiddlers Ferry in Widnes, to Keadby Power Station in North Lincolnshire.

Andy’s nuclear power experience covers many of the UK’s nuclear power stations currently being decommissioned, including Magnox stations from Sizewell in Suffolk to Chapelcross in Annan.

Within his career he has been involved in some

dynamic and complex schemes – the most recent was the 8 year Chapelcross Power Station project, carried out for Magnox. At contract award the asbestos works at Chapelcross was the largest removal programme in Europe, which resulted in a colossal 2,200 tonnes of asbestos containing materials being removed. Decontamination, strip-out and the removal of all hazardous waste was undertaken from eight turbines, four condensers, 16 boilers, pump houses and a range of associated ducts and pipework.

Andy’s role at Erith will involve overseeing operational and contractual delivery of the works with Magnox at the Dungeness A and Trawsfynydd sites. Erith believe assigning Andy as Senior Contracts Manager will embed his robust practices, enhanced methodologies and invaluable experience gained at Chapelcross, Hinkley Station and Sizewell.

Andy commented:“I am looking forward to working with Tony

and the team at Erith. We are already discussing some interesting opportunities, especially as more sites near decommissioning. With my experience in managing large projects in the highly regulated

nuclear industry, I believe I am in a good position to support Erith to convert some of these opportunities into live projects.”

Tony Darsey, Managing Director of Erith commented:

“We are delighted to have Andy on board, and look forward to working with him to further develop our industrial portfolio. Appointing Andy was a strategic acquisition for Erith; his contractual, commercial and operational knowledge of the industrial sector will propel our capabilities within this market sector”.

ARCA member Scott Murray of ECT Environmental gives us the inside track

on how he’s implemented an effective Training Needs Analysis (TNA) and started getting results.

This time last year ARCA delivered a series of free TNA workshops for ARCA members. One of the delegates who attended the workshops was Scott Murray MD of ECT Environmental and a relatively new ARCA member.

ARCA wanted to follow up with Scott to see how he had gone about implementing a TNA. More importantly we wanted to know whether it has been successful and if there were any pitfalls. Satish Patel, ARCA Training Manager, spoke to Scott regarding his experiences with implementing TNA.

Satish: HiScott,thanksfortakingthetimeto speak with me and discussing Training Needs Analysis. After the TNA workshop what did you do next?

Scott: I found the workshop really helpful and a lot of my questions were answered. I think it’s fair to say that a lot of the TNA process was already being carried out in one form or another, it was more about collating the information / evidence and then converting it into a useful format that could be interrogated.

Satish: After you started implementing a formal TNA process, what was the reaction from your operatives and supervisors? Did you face any difficulties?

Scott: Not really, they are used to me involving them. It gave them an opportunity to express their opinions with regards to the external training syllabus and our in-house programme.

Satish: Howmuchworkwasneeded?Scott: It’s hard to quantify, as I said before

much of the evidence was already available in the form of site documentation already being completed by the Supervisors on a project by project basis. The real challenge was the design of the model used to manage the content and encourage the Supervisors to utilise greater detail when completing the site documentation. Despite the fact the system is now in place I am sure the process will continue to develop and evolve over time.

Satish: What has been the most important element of introducing TNA into your company?

Scott: The initial process involved everyone at ECT during team meetings, then one to one Q&A sessions were utilised to gain a full appreciation of the strengths and weaknesses. It has forced everyone to critically evaluate their role within the business and their ability to undertake and discharge their responsibilities. But more importantly it has allowed us to develop a bespoke training programme both internally and externally to support and enhance each individual’s development.

Satish: If another ARCA member is starting down the road of TNA. What initial advice would you give them?

to or not to ?

Scott: Firstly get the Supervisors and Operatives involved, once you have their buy in you will be surprised how much evidence is gathered, after all they are best placed to undertake part of the TNA process on a daily basis.

Break the process down into manageable modules and keep it simple.

Try and visualise what information you require once the process has been completed and how that information will assist your training administrator when booking training courses.

Satish: Somemembersmaysaythatit’shardfor a small company to implement a TNA approach as they are busy working day in day out. What would you say to them?

Scott: I disagree, in fact it will probably be harder for the larger companies.

With smaller companies the management are generally more hands on. Take last week, I was on a site and took the opportunity of getting an Operative to set up and commission the DCU whilst I monitored his progress. When he confirmed it was ready for use I carried out a fault finding exercise and was able to record that the Operative was competent to undertake this duty in the future. It didn’t take any longer to set up the DCU and again this is where the Supervisors can help.

Satish: Howdidyoumotivatesupervisorstoundertake the evidence collection needed for TNA?

Scott: We didn’t have to motivate them really, when they realised what was actually required and recognised it was more about the devil in the detail rather than a burden on their daily work load they embraced it. Yes they probably take more action photo’s now to demonstrate tasks being undertaken which is never a bad thing.

Satish: Finally,onelastquestion,hasECTbenefited in any way from the TNA approach within your business?

Scott: Of course ECT have benefited in the short term with the introduction of bespoke training in key areas which the Site Teams really appreciate. We have always had good worker involvement at ECT and the TNA process has helped to enhance that position.

I am sure that there will be long term benefits but its early days yet, I will let you know.

Satish: Thanks for taking the time out and speaking with me.

Scott: Thank you for the interview, I hope it helps the other members.

ARCA, the UK’s leading asbestos removal association, is pleased to announce that

its new leadership and management course is now available. This course has been designed to support managers in the continual pursuit of excellent standards of leadership within the industry.

With the long term focus from industry on recognising competency through qualifications, ARCA, which already offer hundreds of training courses at centres across the country, looked at extending this service to the industry. After going through a rigorous approval process last year ARCA achieved approved centre status through the Institute of Leadership & Management (ILM) and now their new ILM Level 4 Certificate in Leadership and Management is available for enrolment.

“All businesses need effective leaders and managers as it can mean the difference between good and poor performance. In a permissioned industry like ours, these skills are crucial to the safety and effectiveness of the workforce, and are therefore rigorously assessed by the HSE during asbestos licence assessment,” stated Satish Patel, Training Manager of ARCA.

“Good leadership means effective communication to, and the development and

motivation of the workforce, so that they perform effectively and efficiently. So our course is aimed at facilitating this.”

The ARCA ILM qualification is intended for new and aspiring managers, working in a business environment within the asbestos removal industry, to develop the skills to help improve staff efficiency and motivation, so ensuring that their projects and business are successful.

The course has been designed in four units based around key skill sets and takes the form of seminars and assignments, with access to a personal tutor for support. Each unit is required to be completed in a six month period, so helping to give the right balance between work and study.

“We are very encouraged by the level of interest,” commented Satish Patel. “Managers now have the opportunity to improve their leadership and management skills to support both, the business and workforce, as well as further their own development. The qualification forms part of the criteria for membership of the Asbestos Removal Management Institute (ARMI), further helping experienced leaders within the industry to have their abilities recognised.”

Showcase your company’s products or services or advertise your situations vacant in the leading

publication for the asbestos management industry. Placing an advert in ARCA News will ensure that your message is targeted at the very audience you are aiming to reach, professionals within the asbestos management industry, or clients looking to source professional products and services.

Only ARCA Members have access to ARCA News advertising opportunities, providing unparalleled exposure for your products, services, or situations vacant.

ARCA News advertising rates are significantly lower than those in many other sector specific publications. In addition to the ARCA News magazines which are posted to our members, subscribers, and all those companies who have attended arca training courses in the last 12 months, the latest issue of ARCA news is available to view online. A link to the current issue of ARCA News is placed prominently on the home page of our new website, giving the publication and your advertisement even greater reach.

A 15% discount is available to those booking advertising space in the next 4 editions of ARCA News. This will be invoiced on a quarterly basis which means that you only pay as and when your advert is published. ARCA News is published quarterly, at the end of March, June, October and December

To book Advertising space please contact Isabelle Waldron on 01283 505775 ext 200 or email [email protected]
