In July the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) announced that it will be carrying out a programme of inspections to primary and secondary school from September 2022 onwards.

The inspections will be assessing how schools are managing the risks from asbestos within the school estate and meeting the ‘duty to manage’ requirements under Regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Rob Gould from Barker will be hosting a webinar on Wednesday 21 September 12pm  to explain what this requirement means for schools, your responsibilities and actions to take.
