2 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1. The Western Isles NHS Board has adopted a policy on the control, including identification, handling and disposal, of ACMs in the workplace. The objective of the policy is to ensure that proper arrangements are made for the health, safety and welfare at work of all persons who may come into contact with substances known or thought to be of asbestos origin. 2.0 STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS 2.1 The policy is in accordance with the provisions of a. Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 b. Management of Health & safety at Work Regulations 1999 c. Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 d. Control of Asbestos at Regulations 2012 e. Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations The policy is also in accordance with the HSE Approved Code of Practice on the Control of Asbestos at Work POLICY ON ASBESTOS CONTAINING MATERIALS IN HEALTH BOARD PROPERTIES 3.1 All reasonably practicable steps will be taken to ensure that Health Board employees, tenants and sub-contractors working of behalf of the Health Board will not be exposed to hazards associated with Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs). 3.2 A systematic programme of surveying all Health Board-owned or occupied property by the Estates Department for the presence of ACMs is in plcae. 3.3 All survey information should be supplemented and amended as necessary after any subsequent survey, removal or treatment of ACMs. 3.4 It is presumed that materials suspected to contain ACMs should be treated as such, unless there is strong evidence to suppose they do not. 3.5 Risk assessments will be undertaken to assess the risk of the likelihood of anyone being exposed to asbestos from these materials. 3.6 The Health Board will maintain an Asbestos Register for all its premises highlighting premises where ACMs is found and its condition. The Asbestos Register will be made available to all interested parties on request. 3.7 No asbestos-based materials shall be purchased, used in construction, treatment or repair of any Health Board-owned property. 3.8 Approved licensed asbestos removal contractors accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) will carry out all work involving ACMs. 2

3 3.9 All work involving ACMs will be carried out in accordance with current legislation, guidance notes and codes of practice issued by the Health and Safety Executive All work involving ACMs will be notified to the Estates Department and the person in charge of the premises. An assessment will be required for all work with ACMs. If however the work is of a repetitive nature, one assessment will be suitable. Assessments require approval by the Estates Department prior to the start of any work with ACMs. The Authorised Person who will undertake the work will be issued with an appropriate Estates Permit to Work Health Board tenants employees and anyone who will be affected by the work will be formally notified before any contract for the removal of ACMs is undertaken An effective system of vetting the suitability of applicants for inclusion on Health Board s standing list of contractors will be operated, along with a suitable monitoring scheme for recording contractor performance All monitoring and sampling shall be carried out at an accredited UKAS laboratory The Health Board policy will be made available to employees and information on ACMs will be made available when requested All information held by the Health Board in connection with ACMs in Health Board owned premises is available to the occupiers of such premises and also to any contractors employed by the Health Board. 4.0 TRAINING 4.1 The Health Board undertakes to provide training for all new employees who may encounter ACMs in the course of their duties and regular refresher training for all employees who may encounter ACMs. 5.0 ARRANGEMENTS FOR DEALING WITH ACMs OR MATERIAL THOUGHT TO CONTAIN ASBESTOS 5.1 The arrangements for dealing with ACMs or materials thought to contain asbestos in Health Board-based property are as follows. a. When the Estates Department (with the assistance of the Health & Safety Adviser) are asked for advice relating to materials thought to contain asbestos, the advice given will vary according to the circumstances, but will largely follow the under noted pattern: (i) (ii) Working with or on the suspect material must be suspended until the situation is investigated. Samples must be taken by a Competent Officer, or on certain occasions, by an Asbestos Removal Contractor. 3

4 (iii) (iv) The sample will then be submitted for analysis. The condition of the material, whether "hard", "fragile" or already in a "powdery" state if found to contain asbestos will be considered before action is taken either to: protect/enclose; seal/encapsulate; repair remove; label or colour code the ACMs. (b) The results of the analysis will be studied and when asbestos is present, licensed Asbestos Removers may, if thought necessary, be contacted for advice as to treatment or removal. When the work is put out to tender the Contractors must submit Work Method Statements. Notification to the Health and Safety Executive may be required before work commences. (c) These arrangements will be carried out by the Estates Department as the lead Department on behalf of the Health Board. (d) Clearance tests must be carried out on completion of the ACMs treatment or removal exercise and before the area concerned can be considered 'safe' or 'clean'. (e) Arrangements for disposal of the ACMs waste must be made by the Asbestos Removal Contractor with the approval of the Health Board as producer of the waste. All ACMs waste requires to be deposited at a landfill site licensed to receive same. (f) Where required, clearance testing, both by visual inspection and by air sampling, should be carried out by the Estates Department, with the assistance of an accredited UKAS laboratory. 6.0 ARRANGEMENTS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF POLICY 6.1 The arrangements detailed below consist of a series of procedures which are intended to safeguard persons who may encounter the possibility of discovering ACMs in the course of their work and to ensure the safety of any premises occupants who may be affected by any associated works which may involve the disturbance of material containing asbestos fibres. 7.0 RISK ASSESSMENT 7.1 Risk assessment procedures require to be used to identify and control any possible exposure to ACMs fibres. It is important to note that unlike other risk assessments, removal of the material may present a greater hazard than leaving it in situ and undisturbed. 4

5 7.2 Asbestos in any form represents a potentially serious risk to health and it is important that staff are aware of the correct methods to be carried out to: a) Source information on premises with identified ACMs on site b) Consider the content of risk assessment information c) Arrange for surveys where appropriate to determine the presence of ACMs prior to undertaking alteration works. d) Arrange for the taking and analysing of (suspected) ACMs samples. e) Arrange for tenders to encapsulate or remove ACMs. f) Include for appropriate supervision of removal works where necessary. g) Record and distribute results of ACMs related information. 8.0 Safe Systems of Work 8.1 Use of competent staff. 8.2 Surveys to be undertaken by people with appropriate accreditation /certificate. 8.3 For ACMs removal, appoint an approved contractor. 8.4 Produce a risk assessment. 8.5 Manage the risk. 9.0 Action sequence for works where ACMs may be encountered. 9.1 Conduct a Risk Assessment. 9.2 Inform line manager and post notice on suspect material. 9.3 Arrange for Survey / Samples. 9.4 Record results of analysis. 9.5 Issue written notification of result to line manager. 9.6 Decide action Encapsulate, Remove, Leave undisturbed. 9.7 Exclude work activity / evacuate occupants from area, if urgently required. 9.8 Seek tenders for ACMs related works form approved contractors only. 9.9 Receive plan of work and issue acceptance to (Licensed) Contractor Notification to HSE before removing any ACMs. 5
