Unit 5A, Chelston Business Park, Castle Road, Wellington, Somerset TA21 9JQ ITN Issue 23 is sponsored by IATP Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 The Control of Asbestos Regulations came into force on 6 April 2012, updating previous asbestos regulations to take account of the European Commission's view that the UK had not fully implemented the EU Directive on exposure to asbestos (Directive 2009/148/EC). In practice the changes are fairly limited. They mean that some types of non-licensed work with asbestos now have additional requirements, i.e. notification of work, medical surveillance and record keeping. All other requirements remain unchanged. What has stayed the same? If existing asbestos containing materials are in good condition and are not likely to be damaged, they may be left in place; their condition monitored and managed to ensure they are not disturbed. If you're responsible for maintenance of non-domestic premises, you have a 'duty to manage' the asbestos in them, to protect anyone using or working in the premises from the risks to health that exposure to asbestos causes. If you want to do any building or maintenance work in premises, or on plant or equipment that might contain asbestos, you need to identify where it is and its type and condition; assess the risks, and manage and control these risks. The requirements for licensed work remain the same: in the majority of cases, work with asbestos needs to be done by a licensed contractor. This work includes most asbestos removal, all work with sprayed asbestos coatings and asbestos lagging and most work with asbestos insulation and asbestos insulating board (AIB). If you are carrying out non-licensed asbestos work, this still requires effective controls. The control limit for asbestos is 0.1 asbestos fibres per cubic centimetre of air (0.1 f/cm3). The control limit is not a 'safe' level and exposure from work activities involving asbestos must be reduced to as far below the control limit as possible. Training is mandatory for anyone liable to be exposed to asbestos fibres at work. This includes maintenance workers and others who may come into contact with or disturb asbestos (e.g. cable installers), as well as those involved in asbestos removal work. What has Changed? From 6 April 2012, some non-licensed work needs to be notified to the relevant enforcing authority. From 6 April 2012, brief written records should be kept of non-licensed work, which has to be notified e.g. copy of the notification with a list of workers on the job, plus the level of likely exposure of those workers to asbestos. This does not require air monitoring on every job, if an estimate of degree of exposure can be made based on experience of similar past tasks or published guidance. By April 2015, all workers/self employed doing notifiable non-licensed work with asbestos must be under health surveillance by a Doctor. Workers who are already under health surveillance for licensed work need not have another medical examination for non-licensed work. BUT medicals for notifiable non-licensed work are not acceptable for those doing licensed work. Some modernisation of language and changes to reflect other legislation, e.g. the prohibition section has been removed, as the prohibition of supply and use of asbestos is now covered by REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals Regulations 2006). Notifiable non-licensed work (NNLW) All non-licensed work needs to be carried out with the appropriate controls in place. But for notifiable non-licensed work (NNLW), employers also have additional requirements to: notify work with asbestos to the relevant enforcing authority; ensure medical examinations are carried out; and maintain registers of work (health records). Is my work NNLW? Whether a type of asbestos work is either licensable, NNLW or non-licensed work has to be determined in each case and will depend on the type of work you are going to carry out, the type of material you are going to work on and its condition. The identification of the type of asbestos-containing material (ACM) to be worked on and an assessment of its condition are important parts of your risk assessment, which needs to be completed before you start work. Firstly decide if the work is exempt from licensing or not. Non-licensed work Most asbestos work must be undertaken by a licensed contractor but any decision on whether particular work is licensable is based on the risk. Licensed work is explained at 'Work with asbestos that needs a licensed contractor'. To be exempt from needing a licence the work must be: Sporadic and low intensity - to be considered sporadic and low intensity the concentration of asbestos in the air should not exceed 0.6f/cm3 measured over 10 minutes; and Carried out in such a way that the exposure of workers to asbestos will not exceed the legal control limit of 0.1 asbestos fibres per cubic centimetre of air (0.1 f/cm3); and Meet at least one of four other conditions: o It is a short non-continuous maintenance task, with only non-friable materials (friability describes how likely an ACM is to release asbestos fibres when worked on, so non-friable materials will only release a small number of fibres during work); or o It is a removal task, where the ACMs are in reasonable condition and are not being deliberately broken up, and the asbestos fibres are firmly contained within a matrix, e.g. the asbestos is coated, covered or contained within another material, such as cement, paint or plastic; or o It is a task where the ACMs are in good condition and are being sealed or encapsulated to ensure they are not easily damaged in the future; or o It is an air monitoring and control task to check fibre concentrations in the air, or it's the collection and analysis of asbestos samples to confirm the presence of asbestos in a material. Some examples of non-licensed work are contained in Asbestos Essentials. The illustration of asbestos work categories chart gives some examples of what work falls into the categories of licensed, notifiable non-licensed and non-licensed.

Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 The Control of Asbestos Regulations came into force on 6 April 2012, updating previous asbestos regulations to take account of the European Commission's view that the UK had not fully implemented the EU Directive on exposure to asbestos (Directive 2009/148/EC).In practice the changes are fairly limited. They mean that some types of non-licensed work with asbestos now have additional requirements, i.e. noti�cation of work, medical surveillance and record keeping. All other requirements remain unchanged.

All non-licensed and noti�able non-licensed work with asbestos needs to be carried out with the appropriate controls and training in place, to protect those doing the work (and others in the area) from the risks to health that exposure to asbestos causes. If the work is exempt from the need for a licence, you then need to determine if it is noti�able non-licensed work or non-licensed work. The key factors to consider are:

The type of work you are planning to do:• Maintenance, e.g. drilling holes to attach �ttings or pass cables through, painting, cleaning etc. Maintenance includes some removal where it is incidental to the main task, e.g. removing an asbestos ceiling tile to allow inspection; or• Removal, e.g. as part of a refurbishment or redesign project; or• Encapsulation, e.g. work to enclose or seal asbestos materials in good condition; or• Air monitoring and control, and the collection and analysis of samples.

The asbestos type:• Is it friable? - the more friable a material is, the more likely it will release asbestos �bres when worked on and the greater the risk of exposure. Work which disturbs more friable materials e.g. asbestos insulation will tend to be NNLW and work which disturbs the least friable materials e.g. asbestos cement can normally be treated as non-licensed work; and• How �rmly is the asbestos bonded in a matrix? (For removal work only) – Asbestos containing materials (ACMs) where the asbestos is coated, covered or contained within another material, such as cement, paint or plastic are considered to be �rmly bonded in a matrix, ACMs of this type in good condition can usually be treated as non-licensed work but where they are signi�cantly damaged, and so more likely to release �bres, they will need to be treated as NNLW.

The material's condition:• Has the material been damaged or is it in poor condition? – removal of ACMs in poor condition e.g. due to flood or fire damage, will normally need to be treated as NNLW; and• Will the materials' matrix be destroyed when worked on? – e.g. deteriorating textured decorative coatings e.g. 'Artex' with gel or steam to remove it, will normally need to treated as NNLW.

It is the responsibility of the person in charge of the job to assess the ACM to be worked on and decide if the work is NNLW or non-licensed work. This will be a matter of judgement in each case, dependent on consideration of the above factors.A decision flow chart is available in Asbestos Essentials sheet AO to help you decide how work with asbestos should be categorised .To help you, examples of NNLW include, (assuming in all cases exposure is sporadic and of low intensity and will not exceed the control limit):

• minor, short duration, maintenance work involving asbestos insulation, e.g. repairing minor damage to a small section of pipe insulation where the exterior coating has been broken or damaged;• minor removal work involving AIB, when short duration and as part of a refurbishment project, e.g. removing AIB panels fixed with screws following water damage;• entry into the roof space above an AIB tiled ceiling, when no decontamination or cleaning has taken place;• removal work involving textured decorative coatings where the method of removal requires deterioration of the material, e.g. where the material is treated by steam, hydrating gel etc and scraped o� the underlying surface, or where it is very badly flood-damaged;• removal of asbestos paper and cardboard products if not firmly bonded in a matrix;• removal of asbestos cement (AC) which is substantially degraded e.g. badly �re-damaged or de-laminated material, or where substantial breakage is unavoidable to achieve removal.

NNLW will not normally include the following, which will continue to be categorised as non-licensed work (which is not noti�able), (assuming in all cases exposure is sporadic and of low intensity and will not exceed the control limit):• short, non-continuous maintenance work involving AIB which is in good condition, e.g. drilling holes in AIB to attach a �tting or pass through a cable or pipe, cleaning light �ttings attached to AIB, removing a door with AIB �re-proo�ng, or lifting ceiling tiles for inspection where there is no full-body entry into the roof space; • short, non-continuous maintenance work on asbestos cement (AC), e.g. work on weathered AC roof tiles;• removal of AC, which is kept virtually intact;• short, non-continuous maintenance work on textured decorative coatings, e.g. drilling holes, inserting screws or painting; • small-scale maintenance work with textured decorative coatings when this can be achieved without deterioration of the material, e.g. by careful cutting around backing sheets to achieve removal intact;• removal, for example, of gaskets or asbestos rope cords from heating appliances, which can be left in situ for disposal or can be lifted out virtually intact, without substantial breakage;• short, non-continuous maintenance work on clutch discs, brakes, friction products etc unless signi�cant damage is required e.g. by power tools;• removal of floor tiles or bitumen felt, when done with the appropriate controls, e.g. inline with Asbestos Essentials sheets A21 and A23;• work to enclose or seal asbestos materials that are in good condition (and that do not require a licence);• air monitoring and control, and the collection and analysis of samples.

The illustration of asbestos work categories chart gives some examples of what work falls into the categories of licensed, NNLW and non-licensed.If you determine that the work you are about to do is NNLW, this is how you comply with the additional requirements:

Noti�cationEmployers need to notify the relevant enforcing authority of any NNLW with asbestos:• To notify you need to go to the online noti�cations form (via either a computer or Smartphone);• All three possible regulators can be notified via this database - HSE, Local Authorities and the Office of Rail Regulation;• Notice is required before the work starts - there is no minimum notice period;• You do not need to wait for permission from the enforcing authority – the database will provide a PDF copy of your notification; • If you are doing a project with multiple NNLW jobs you can notify once for the whole project;• The online form is the only method of noti�cation - you can't notify by phone or post.

Medical SurveillanceBy 30 April 2015, all workers carrying out NNLW will need to have had a medical examination. Examinations will then need to be repeated at least every 3 years, as long as the worker continues to do NNLW. After April 2015, workers carrying out NNLW for the �rst time will have to have an examination before they can start such work:• Medical examinations must include an examination of the chest and a lung function test;• They need to be carried out by a licensed medical practitioner, e.g. a GP;• Those workers already under surveillance via a licensed contractor and in possession of a valid certi�cate do not need to have the

NNLW medical;• Medical examinations should be carried out in work time at the employers' expense;• The fee should be agreed with the doctor before the examination is carried out- HSE can accept no responsibility for remuneration matters;• The doctor must issue a certificate to confirm the examination has taken place and on what date. The employer needs to keep this certi�cate for 4 years.

Record KeepingEmployers need to keep a register (health record) of NNLW with asbestos for each employee exposed to asbestos:• This must include: o the nature and duration of work with asbestos and estimated exposure for each individual worker; and o dates of the worker's medical examinations; • Record keeping may be as simple as writing down the names of workers on the job on your copy of the notification or keeping copies of the noti�cation form for each person carrying out NNLW work, as the notification copy will document the nature of the job and type of asbestos from which likely exposure can be estimated.• More detailed medical records will be kept by the doctor;• Registers of work (health records) must be kept for 40 years (and o�ered to HSE or the individual concerned should the business cease trading);• The need to record exposure does not mean that every non licensed task must have air sampling. There will often be published exposure �gures or knowledge within the industry about exposures found at similar lower risk work done in the past. If a task is unusual sampling may be required.

Workers Memorial Day 28/04/201228/04/2012 many organisations and individuals will be paying their respects to the thousands of workers who have lost their lives whilst doing a days work. Every year more people are killed at work than in wars. They die because an employer decided their safety just wasn’t that important a priority. Workers Memorial Day is everyone’s chance to remember them and demand safer workplaces.

ADAO 8th Global Asbestos Awareness Conference 2012

Asbestos: An International Public Health Crisis

30/03/2012 – 01/04/2012

EIA (The Environmental Information Association) and IATP were Partners in Prevention at the 2012 ADAO 8th Global Asbestos Awareness Conference. In total nine countries were represented, equaling a 100 delegates.

The three day conference was as diverse as it was interesting, from medical pioneers, researchers, care givers. Anti-asbestos advocators and volunteers. Campaigning and enforcing bodies, from those driven to campaign for change through personal tragedy and those in authority who are very aware that change is required.

From Italy a panel of representatives: Eternit Criminal Trails. Brazil, Fernanda Giannasi delivered a powerful presentation; “Challenges to a Total Ban of Asbestos in Brazil” Australia; Matt Peacock Australian Broadcasting Company, India’s Toxic Trade. Oregon-Ann Samuelson: Justice has no Timeline. UK; Meso Warrior Debbie Brewer, awarded the Alan Reinstein Award for her work raising awareness and supporting others. Debbie’s speech gained a standing ovation! Meso Warrior Larry Davis was also given an award, unfortunately Larry was unable to attend and his award was movingly accepted by his Brother. Canada; Sandy Kinart (VOCV) Community Support Hospice. Canadian Sisters Leah Neilson and Stacy Cattran; organisers of A Walk to Remember Victims of Asbestos. Barbara McQeen; widow of actor Steve McQueen, accepted the Warren Zevon Tribute Award on behalf of her late husband. Brent Kynoch (EIA) “What we need now is Enforcement”: and so many others, spoke eloquently and passionately about their work, campaigns and their experience of asbestos and the impact it has on human life and / or their personal life, workforces and communities.

The Meso Warriors, victims of asbestos exposure, many living with or surviving mesothelioma, and families impacted by asbestos related diseases had a strong presence, so many people travelled long distances to attend this conference that was perfectly executed by ADAO CEO and Co Founder Linda Reinstein, daughter Emily Reinstein and their incredible team of Volunteers and Interns.

Why did IATP attend? IATP was invited to attend to share information about the training regime in the UK, our licensing system, regulations, legislation, our industrial links with the US and our shared (ADAO-IATP’s) methodology and belief in the responsible use of social media to share information across the globe and of course our belief that there is no safe level of exposure to asbestos and now is the time to end mining, export and use of asbestos in products.

Asbestos is not just a UK problem, it is a global problem, the opportunity to meet and share with so many International organisations and people can only be viewed as extremely positive for IATP. The death rate from asbestos exposure is increasing and is expected to continue to increase for many years into the future! Secondary exposure is becoming more prevalent, women and young people are impacted, our teachers and school children, asbestos has penetrated into our varied professions, our homes and our families leaving a trail of devastation and sorrow. Knowledge is power, training, education, information and sharing it is a key to prevention.

Global Asbestos Awareness week followed 1st – 7th April with the HSE contributing the Hidden Killer Campaign and the British Lung Foundation contributing Take 5 and Stay Alive Campaign. 7 days of raising Asbestos Awareness across the Globe.

The conference is all about people, real people who “Make A Difference”. On reflection great friendships and lasting professional partnerships are strengthening us all as we develop relationships across the Globe, face to face or via social media. Our strength is that we are united in one cause, our friendships and partnerships, our voices get louder and our Boots! Are all walking in the same direction!

Our relationship with ADAO has always been strong, now IATP has developed relationships with many other organisations, groups and individuals which furthers our information sources and resources.

Together Change is Possible

The Great British Asbestos in Buildings Survey Report

Results from the 2011 Great British Asbestos Survey have been released and reveals the level of awareness of asbestos in buildings from a wide range of industry.The Survey was completed throughout 2011 by a wide range of professionals representing a range of business sizes and disciplines from across the UK.Overall it would appear that many commercial businesses have asbestos management procedures in place but there are some significant gaps in terms of knowledge of responsibilities, provision of information and training and this is demonstrated by the number of people that have con�rmed that they have disturbed asbestos during their activities.For Residential buildings the management of asbestos doesn't seem to be as strong and although Regulation 4 is not applicable to residential buildings the other regulations are.For surveys there is still approximately 25% not being completed in line with guidance and this can lead to poor surveys, a lack of comeback in terms of complaints procedures and insurances and ultimately could increase the risk of personnel being exposed to asbestos where not identi�ed properly.It is clear from the survey that although some progress has been made in raising awareness of asbestos management procedures and getting personnel trained there is still a large amount of work that needs to be done to ensure people are not exposed to asbestos.What do you think about the results? We are keen to invite debate. You can comment on the website at www.asbestosinspectionbodies.co.uk or join our LinkedIn Group (UKAS Accredited Asbestos Inspection Firms)The website also features several opinion pieces from industry experts from the www.asbestosinspectionbodies.co.uk campaign about the survey results including:The full report is now available to download at www.asbestosinspectionbodies.co.ukContributed by Kirstie Colledge.
