a-SURE – strategic management plan for asbestos

Many people are planning to meet their legal obligations by 21st May 2004 and are faced with creating an asbestos management plan to meet the changes to the CAW regulations.

Asbestos surveys and registers are the first step towards your management plan and allow you to build upon the information that they provide.

The major change to the CAW regulations carries implications for the ‘dutyholder’ and this is explicitly explained in regulation 4. The dutyholder now has to prepare and implement plans and manage the risks from such asbestos and also to provide information to anyone liable to come into contact with asbestos.

The asbestos survey and register provides you with a view as to what is happening at any given time, you then need to take this information and create your management plan.

a-SURE provides you with the framework of a strategic management plan and the benefits can be seen below:

The idea behind the a-SURE Management Plan
  • Changes as your organisation changes and protects your legislative requirements
  • Provides a framework of a ‘sound’ asbestos management plan
  • Saves considerable long term costs on repeat re-start survey cost
The a-SURE system offers you
  • The option to have two parties driving your plan, keeping your management plan moving forward – AEC would remind you when your re-inspection visits were due dependant on your inspection frequencies
  • AEC would provide a sturdy management plan to use on site and an electronic version to have at a central location or as a ‘back up’ to your paper copy. a-SURE provides an actionable management plan. The decision to update your paper and electronic documents could be handled by yourself or AEC
  • Asbestos Consultancy advice whenever you needed it, we would be only a telephone call away
  • AEC offer an independent professional view and would work with you to understand the restrictions placed on your business by asbestos and how to best manage your liabilities, minimise disruption and in the long run save you unnecessary cost
