To date the new accounting package, Microsoft NAV 2013, has been installed and is now operational. To complement the Microsoft NAV 2013 accounting software ARCA have selected a customer relationship management solution provided by TSG Ltd, which is Microsoft CRM 2013. However, we have now been advised that this will not be available for installation until January 2015.

The sad loss of Terry is particularly poignant at this time of year as the ARCA Annual General Meeting is once again upon us. This event, probably more than any other is associated with Terry, and the fact that he will not be there will make this year’s AGM a strange experience for me, as I am sure it will for many others. Nonetheless I look forward to seeing as many members as possible at the AGM to both reflect on the life of Terry Jago and all the good work he has done for the association, and to look to the future to continue the good work that was initiated and promoted by Terry.

Steve Sadley Chief Executive

A s most of you will undoubtedly know Terry Jago passed away on Sunday 3RD

August 2014 after a long battle against prostate cancer. A memorial service for Terry took place on the 15th August 2014 at St Mary’s church in Terry’s adopted home town of Atherstone, Warwickshire. Amongst others the service was attended by many representatives from the ARCA Governing Council, association members as well as friends and colleagues.

Terry remained active within the association right up until the end of May 2014 when finally his state of health prevented him from taking an active part in the association any longer. Earlier this year January / February time I recall Terry telling me that when visiting new members he took great delight in telling the story of ARCA through the years, and that one member had said ‘you ought to write this down’. This prompted Terry to propose a series of articles for ARCA News chronicling ‘the story of ARCA’. I think on reflection Terry was keen that the story was documented for the future as he was only to aware that time was running out for him. Terry managed to complete the first two articles. The series continues within this edition of ARCA news from 2000 to 2008.

Readers will recall that I mentioned the production of an ARCA Strategic Plan in the Chief Executives comment in the previous edition of ARCA News. I am pleased to report that at the time of writing this report the plan is almost complete and will be launched at the Annual General Meeting. I will give an outline of the association’s mission and vision for the future along with an overview of the association’s aims

chief executives comment

Chairman’s Message

This has been a memorable first year for me in my role as Chairman. To have

had the opportunity to work alongside the association’s cornerstone, Terry Jago, was a privilege.

As late as July, Terry was attending and as always, contributing in strategic meetings to develop Arca over the forthcoming years. Terry’s legacy will live a long time with Arca and I suspect a lot longer with his many friends.

I have and remain committed to work with our Chief Executive, Stephen Sadley, and Governing Council to develop Arca to best support our members in the future. The strategic plan to meet these needs has been drawn up and will be explained at the AGM on the 3rd October. I hope

as many members as possible can attend the AGM and take part in our associations’ and industries’ future development.

As I set out at last year’s AGM, I would like to ensure our liaison with major client sector groups are improved and our association is in tune with client requirements. I am pleased that we have made progress in this area. Very importantly, the acknowledgement of our Client contacts to our training and audit schemes has been very complimentary.

I was pleased that during my first year we marked our 300th Governing Council meeting. As an acknowledgement of this significant milestone, this meeting was held in Ireland and coincided with a meeting with some of our Ireland members.

I would like to congratulate Andy Jackson for his term as Atac Chairman. Andy has continued with the great development of Atac over the last 2 years and the increased training courses provided

by Atac, along with additional membership, a testament to his success.

The Governing Council, along with the various Committees and the Arca Team, are committed as ever to support our members in every way possible. I would personally like to thank Grant Beglan for his solid and unwavering Stewardship of the Arca Training Committee and his knowledgeable and uncompromising support of Arca.

This is a very feisty industry where we are often seen as spectres of doom and pilloried at every turn. We never seem to be given the credit of the good work we do and the lives we save. Let’s turn this around as we move forward and shout out the benefits of our members work and of this great association.

asbestos in the news

T wo Stoke-on-Trent brothers with little or no experience of building and

construction work have been given prison sentences after they exposed workers to asbestos.

At least seven workers are known to have been exposed to asbestos – one aged just 17 at the time – by Akram Hussain, 52, of City Road, and Inam Hussain, 47, of Boughey Road, during refurbishment work at a former print works on Scotia Road, Burslem, since February 2012.

Stafford Crown Court was told today (20 August) that neither was qualified or experienced in construction, demolition or refurbishment work; nor were they licensed to remove asbestos.

Brothers given custodial sentence for exposing workers to asbestos

Akram Hussain is a snooker hall manager and Inam Hussain a taxi driver, although they have been carrying out the work on the building for around ten years.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) prosecuted the brothers after an investigation found work was being carried out without the necessary asbestos surveys and without a Construction, Design and Management Co-ordinator (CDM) in place, which is required if work is to take more than 30 days.

Despite repeated visits from HSE inspectors and numerous enforcement notices warning them of their failings, the brothers continued to refurbish the building and disturb asbestos material – putting workers at risk.

A Prohibition Notice was issued on 17 February 2012 stopping all work with, or liable to disturb, asbestos. A ‘Direction to Leave Undisturbed’ was also issued for the building until HSE had provided written confirmation that work could continue.

However, several lorry-loads of waste contaminated with asbestos were removed from the site and taken to an unlicensed waste disposal site in Stoke-on-Trent. Workers were also witnessed exiting the site covered in dust and not wearing the correct protective clothing.

A further Prohibition Notice and an Improvement Notice were served on Akram Hussain on 25 February 2012 when inspectors

again found work being carried out without an asbestos survey or a CDM.

A separate Prohibition Notice was also served on Inam Hussain on 18 May 2012 for the non-licensed removal of the asbestos from the building. An Improvement Notice was served at the same time for the ongoing failure to appoint a CDM.

An asbestos survey was later carried out, but work inside the building continued to disturb materials containing asbestos.

The court heard that HSE is aware of at least seven workers being exposed to asbestos in the building. Many more could have been exposed during the course of the refurbishment project.

Akram Hussain and Inam Hussain both pleaded guilty to breaching section 3(2) of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974. Akram Hussain was given a custodial sentence of 22 weeks and ordered to pay costs of £43,000. Inam Hussain was given a custodial sentence of 14 weeks.

Speaking after the hearing, HSE inspector Lindsay Hope said:

“The Hussains have shown a willful disregard for the health and safety of workers and others. Our investigation uncovered a catalogue of serious errors, safety failings and a disregard of the laws around the safe and correct removal of asbestos.

“This was an appalling case of failing to

20 August 2014 http://press.hse.gov.uk/2014/brothers-given-custodial-sentence-for-exposing-workers-to-asbestos/

properly plan, manage and resource this project, which led to workers being exposed to risks to their health from asbestos.

“It is essential at the outset of a building refurbishment to first seek specialist advice regarding the possible presence of asbestos within that building. Only with the full knowledge of what is present, or not, can any asbestos then be dealt with safely.

“Failure to identify and deal with any asbestos can lead to it being damaged and people then breathing in the fibres. The Hussains failed in their duty by choosing to ignore the dangers of this hidden killer.

A n NHS Trust has been fined after it was found likely to have exposed workers to

potentially fatal asbestos material for more than a decade at its three hospitals in Hertfordshire.

Between April 2000 and December 2011, the estates team at West Hertfordshire Hospitals NHS Trust was maintaining buildings at Watford General Hospital, Hemel Hempstead Hospital and St Albans Hospital without knowing that asbestos was present or being trained to identify and control exposure.

The estates team, whose work is to carry out small repairs and maintenance projects where external contractors are not needed, could have disturbed asbestos fibres in the course of a job, but would have had no way of knowing or of protecting themselves.

St Albans Crown Court was told that over the 11-year period, the Trust had identified some of the asbestos materials at their sites but did not have a management or monitoring plan in place to control the risks associated with the deadly fibre.

It was only when additional surveys were carried out in December 2011 that the Trust

realised more asbestos was present at all three hospitals than initially identified. Neither the newly identified asbestos nor the material that had originally been identified were being managed. The Trust alerted the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), which investigated and brought a prosecution for health and safety breaches against the Trust today (20 August).

The court heard the NHS Trust immediately put control measures in place after the survey results came back. Unfortunately, the extended lack of awareness reiterated that it had caused workers to potentially be exposed over a significant period of time, which constituted a major failure on its part.

West Hertfordshire Hospitals NHS Trust, of Vicarage Road, Watford, Hertfordshire, was fined £55,000 and ordered to pay £ 34,078 in costs after pleading guilty to four breaches of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006 and a single breach of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974.

Speaking after the hearing, HSE Inspector

Sandra Dias said: “Employers have a duty to protect their staff from the long term health risks associated with asbestos, which include lung cancer and mesothelioma.

“This duty includes finding out whether the premises contains asbestos, assessing the risks and making a plan to manage that risk and act on it.

“West Hertfordshire Hospitals NHS Trust did not adequately manage the risk over an 11-year period. As a result, a number of its employees will now have to spend the rest of their lives not knowing whether they have been exposed. We all hope that none will suffer as a result.”

Around 4,500 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. Airborne fibres can become lodged in the lungs and digestive tract, and can lead to lung cancer or other diseases, but symptoms may not appear for several decades.

20 August 2014 http://press.hse.gov.uk/2014/nhs-trust-in-court-after-workers-potentially-exposed-to-asbestos/

A Hove-based firm has been fined after it flouted asbestos regulations and removed

some of the dangerous material just three weeks after being refused a licence to carry out such work.

Asbestos Damage Limitations Ltd, trading as ADL, was prosecuted at Brighton Magistrates’ Court (28 Aug) for safety breaches following the work undertaken at premises in Dyke Road, Hove, between 22 and 25 October 2013.

The case was brought by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) after investigating a complaint that an unlicensed contractor was carrying out asbestos removal work.

The court was told that ADL had possessed a

Hove firm prosecuted after flouting asbestos laws

licence to remove asbestos – a known carcinogen – but that this had expired in September 2013. The firm had applied for a renewal of the licence and had been for a renewal interview with HSE on 1 October. However this had resulted in an outright refusal based on inadequate performance.

Asbestos Damage Limitations Ltd, Coleridge Street, Hove, East Sussex, was fined £15,000 and ordered to pay £4,000 in costs after admitting breaching Regulation 8(1) of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

After the hearing, HSE Inspector Denis Bodger said:

“ADL obviously decided to ignore the fact that its asbestos licence had expired and also that the

application to renew had been refused. Instead it carried on regardless and went ahead with work at the premises, removing a ceiling that contained asbestos insulation board.

“When ADL’s licence expired, the firm should have ceased to carry out any work with asbestos-containing materials that is required by licence. ADL was fully aware of what types of activities are covered and knew perfectly well that it was illegal to undertake the work they did.

“Work with asbestos requires a high degree of regulatory control. It involves working with a category one carcinogen, with asbestos-related diseases causing some 4,500 deaths each year in the UK, as well as many serious illnesses. When this type of work is undertaken by an unlicensed company, HSE has no ability to ensure it is done safely.

“Non-compliance with asbestos-licensing requirements is not acceptable and HSE will continue to enforce the law to protect both workers and members of the public.”

As the majority of readers will be aware Terry Jago sadly passed away on the 3rd of August

2014. Anyone who has been associated with ARCA over the past 35 years will be only too aware of the contribution Terry has made to the association.

Terry was one of the founder members of ARCA (representing Cape Contracts) when a handful of asbestos removal companies came together in 1979 to form the Asbestos Removal Contractors Association. From that point onward Terry remained active within the association, initially as the representative of several member companies, Cape, Kitsons and Asbestech. During his time with these companies Terry served as an ARCA Governing Council member, including the period 1998-1990 when he served as Chairman of the ARCA Governing Council. In 1995 Terry was appointed as the associations Development Director, and commenced his direct employment with ARCA on July 3rd that year, before becoming the associations Chief Executive in 1996, a post he held until January 2009. Aged 67 Terry stepped down from his role as Chief Executive and continued in a part time role with the association, as Director of Training, right up until the end of May 2014 when he became too ill to continue and reluctantly had to retire from his duties with the association.

During the 35 years that Terry has been linked with the association, either as a representative of an active member or as a direct employee of the association, his vison and goals coupled with his enthusiasm and drive, in addition to his genuine love of the industry, and the people within it, have been the foundations on which the association has been built.

Terry’s tireless work visiting asbestos removal contractors during his years with ARCA, and particularly during the early years following his appointment, has led to the significant number of members ARCA now has.

Terry was instrumental in ARCA introducing practical training to the industry as well as suggesting to the HSE in January 1999 that an industry ‘forum’ would be a good idea. This suggestion led to the formation of the Asbestos

Liaison Group (ALG) which first met in December 2000. This group is a forum of key stakeholders which continues meet three times a year with the aim to work together in a constructive way to promote best standards and practice in relation to control and work with asbestos. The ALG aims to promote measures that will bring about a reduction in the level of asbestos related diseases. The ALG publishes guidance material, in the form of ALG memos concerning work with asbestos.

Terry was instrumental in establishing the ARCA Insurance Scheme in 1996, which continues to provide ARCA members with reliable insurance cover as well as discounts for members and sponsorship of the Site Audit Accreditation Scheme which enables members twice yearly audits to be heavily subsidised. The aim of the association has always been to raise standards of professionalism, workmanship and safety and health within the asbestos removal industry. Terry oversaw the introduction of the associations Site Audit Accreditation Scheme (SAAS) which now sets the standard that members have to achieve and maintain in order to remain members of the association.

The foundations for the successful association we have today were laid during Terry’s term as Chief Executive of the association and those foundations remain the cornerstones of the association today. Practical training, Site Audit Accreditation Scheme, Asbestos Liaison Group, regional meetings are all part of the legacy left by Terry.

I first met Terry in 1999 when I was working for ARCA member company, Detech Environmental Ltd. I was the Asbestos Manager at Detech and

Terry was a regular visitor to the company offices. My memories from that time are that he seemed to know everyone, and everyone seemed to know him. I remember that he always seemed busy and was always on some sort of mission. In 2000 I applied for the position of Business Development Manager with ARCA and commenced work with ARCA on July 3rd, exactly 5 years to the day after Terry commenced direct employment with ARCA. During the next 14 years I enjoyed some of the best years of my working career working alongside Terry. In particular I remember the period when the association moved its headquarters from Chelmsford in Essex to Burton on Trent in Staffordshire. Initially Terry and myself were the only members of staff running the association from a small flat above the intended ARCA premises while they were being refurbished. It was a delight to work with Terry to develop the association into what it has become today. I will always be thankful to Terry, firstly for giving me the opportunity to work for ARCA and for his help, support and assistance over the years, both before and after I was appointed Chief Executive.

We will remember Terry for his confidence, his consummate ability, his professionalism and mainly because he was ‘a really good bloke’ who was liked and respected by all. I will look back on the times we shared together with fond memories. It was a mark of his popularity that so many in the industry gathered to attend his funeral. Terry will be sadly missed by all.

2000 saw Steve Sadley join the ARCA staff as Business Development Manager, ARCA

relocate its offices from Chelmsford in Essex to Burton upon Trent in the Midlands, and the Consultative Document for the Control of Asbestos at Work Regulations 2002 issued. Significantly the Consultative Document proposed a major amendment to the preceding Control of Asbestos at Work Regulations 1987 with the inclusion of the ‘Duty to Manage Asbestos in Non Domestic Premises’ for the first time.

In addition the Associations Site Audit Accreditation Scheme (SAAS) was launched in 2000. At the time it was stated the ARCA Site Audit Accreditation Scheme ‘could not make perfect contractors but could set a standard and ensure that contactors can do it properly and consistently’. At the ARCA Annual General Meeting in October 2000 the first 4 ARCA members to receive the Site Audit Accreditation

award were presented with their certificates, as current members will know the ARCA Site Audit Accreditation Scheme is now central to gaining and maintaining ARCA membership.

Following prior representations by ARCA to the HSE the first Asbestos Liaison Group (ALG) meeting was held in December 2000. The first issues discussed were ‘Scaffolding and work with asbestos’, ‘Short duration work (disapplication from holding a licence)’ and ‘Site documentation’.

Peter Dolan of Kitsons Environmental (Europe) Ltd completed his two years as ARCA Chairman in 2001 and Jason Davy of Rhodar Ltd took over the Chairmanship for the period 2001 -2003. MDHS 100, the forerunner to ‘Asbestos: the survey guide’, was published in 2001. In 2002 the industry experienced difficult times as far as obtaining asbestos specific insurance was concerned. The demise of the Independent Insurance Company, followed by the events of September 11th 2001, meant that the cost of renewing insurance cover rose dramatically, and there were fewer underwriters willing to offer cover. ARCA worked closely with Miles Smith during this period to ensure that insurance cover was available for ARCA members.

The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2002 (CAR 2002) were finally introduced when the Minister for Work and Pensions signed the new legislation on the 24th October. The signing

of the Regulations by the Minister was not the end of the matter as Conservative Lords tried unsuccessfully to annul the introduction of the legislation in a further debate in the House of Lords on the 5th of December. The Association assisted Baroness Gibson by providing detailed information on the necessity for the new duty, which the baroness referred to during the debate.

2003 saw insurance premiums still rising for asbestos removal companies. In order to soften the blow for ARCA members, ARCA negotiated a 10% discount in insurance premiums with Miles Smith for those ARCA members who had successfully achieved Site Audit Accreditation status. The introduction of CAR 2002, which included the Duty to Manage Asbestos in Non Domestic Premises led to ATaC members reporting record numbers of request for surveys to be carried out.

During 2003 membership of the association’s Site Audit Scheme was made a requirement of membership and Grant Beglan was appointed Chairman of the association. May 21st saw the lead in period for CAWR 2002 Regulation 4 The Duty to Manage Asbestos in Non Domestic Premises come to an end and the Regulation coming in to force. With further problems regarding the availability of Employers Liability Insurance specific to asbestos and the introduction of the Landfill Regulations

2002 likely to reduce the number of landfill sites available for asbestos waste by 95%, times were not getting any easier for asbestos removal contractors. In order to further ease the burden of excessive insurance premiums ARCA negotiated an additional 10% discount for members subject to a satisfactory claims history, this discount was in addition to the 10% discount applicable to those members achieving Site Audit accreditation.

Early in 2005 ARCA was notified that the European Asbestos Worker Protection Directive was due to be introduced in 2006. The result of the implementation of this Directive would mean that work on textured coatings containing asbestos would be removed from the licensing regime, something ARCA was strongly opposed to. Whilst ARCA recognised that various asbestos containing materials offered varying degrees of risk, there was no material containing asbestos which could be classified as no risk. Removing these materials from the licensing regime would encourage the inadequately trained and inadequately insured to expose people to asbestos. Tony Darsey was appointed Chairman of the association for the period 2005-2007.

The Consultative Document containing the proposals for the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006 (CAR 2006) was issued in late

2005. ARCA began a campaign to oppose the removal of textured coatings from the asbestos licensing regime. Despite ARCA’s campaign to make industry aware that the proposed changes would do little to improve worker protection with regard to asbestos removal within the UK, despite 115 MP’s signing an Early Day Motion expressing their concerns and despite HSE receiving over 500 responses to the consultation, of which 65% opposed the deregulation of textured coating, HSC recommended the proposals to Government for implementation later in the year.

The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006 were implemented on the 13th November 2006 including the removal of asbestos textured coatings from the licensing regime.

As a result of the introduction of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006, ARCA felt that the Regulations did not correctly transpose the European Directive and therefore began a long process of making a formal complaint to the European Commission.

In spring 2007 ARCA moved in to its new Training Centre at Rayleigh, Essex. Satish Patel was appointed as ARCA’s new Training Manager. Steve Watts was appointed Chairman of ARCA in 2007 and Terry Jago stood down as Chief Executive at the end of the year and took the position of Director of Training for ARCA. Steve Sadley was appointed Chief Executive in January 2008.

ARCA & ATAC NEWS12

On the 10th September 2014 ARCA were visited by Clive Johnson, Land Securities

Group Head of Health & Safety. Clive was visiting ARCA’s Headquarters in Burton upon Trent to meet with the ARCA Training team to demonstrate the training presentations that Land securities are currently delivering with regards to Work at Height and Safety Behaviour.

In the morning Clive spent several hours delivering the ‘work at height’ presentation. Whilst all the ARCA trainers have already attended a PASMA (Prefabricated Access Suppliers and Manufacturers Association) Certificate of Competence, at user level for both Low Level and Tower categories, it was still extremely interesting to get a Clients perspective. Clive delivered a presentation which sets the standard that Land Securities demand from their own sub-contractors

in relation to work at height. Clive impressed upon the trainers the fact that falls from height remain the single biggest cause of fatalities on UK construction sites.

In the afternoon Clive delivered the Land Securities ‘Safety Behaviour’ presentation that has been developed over many years and is once again delivered to Land Securities subcontractors. The presentation is thought provoking and challenges the delegates to examine their own relationship with Safety and Health. The presentation requires the delegates to consider the life changing results that can follow from an accident at work and the affects that this can have on the quality of life of the injured worker, both physically and financially, and the corresponding effects on the injured workers family and their quality of life. The presentation impresses upon the delegates

‘Work at Height Awareness’ and ‘Behavioural Safety’

hse news

Land Securities Clive Johnson and ARCA Working Together to Promote the need to follow health and safety rules, and that by taking risks by cutting corners, they are gambling with their future and their family’s future. The presentation really hits home and convinces delegates that taking short cuts and ignoring health and safety procedures is really not worth the risk, and that too many people have already paid too high a price by either being killed or seriously injured.

Much of what was learned during the presentations will be incorporated in to ARCA’s current training programmes. Clive is keen that the health and safety messages that Land Securities are dedicated to promoting are spread far and wide, and will therefore be working with ARCA to develop the Land Securities presentations into presentations that can be offered to the ARCA members.

All the ARCA trainers were grateful to Clive for taking time out of his busy schedule to spend the day at ARCA’s headquarters. Feedback from the ARCA trainers following the presentations was that all of the ARCA trainers had taken a great deal from the presentations that Clive delivered on the day, both in terms of the style of delivery and the presentations content. Once again we are very grateful to Clive Johnson for his help and assistance.

There has been a large uptake of “behavioural safety” approaches over the past decade

or so, in a wide range of industries. These approaches are based on the premise that a significant proportion of accidents are primarily caused by the behaviour of front line staff, such as pilots, drivers, production operators or maintenance technicians. There is a wide range of such programmes available, but they generally involve (i) the definition of safe/unsafe behaviours, (ii) observations of behaviours by trained observers and (iii) feedback/reinforcement of behaviours.

These approaches can be successful in reducing unsafe behaviours in the workplace. Due to the nature of these approaches, there are a number of other less tangible benefits, including:

2. the workforce and management talking to each other about safety;

3. increased profile of health and safety;

4. increased visibility of management in the workplace;

5. employee engagement in safety;

6. managers/supervisors learn to act promptly on unsafe acts (and have a legitimate mechanism for doing so);

7. managers/supervisors may improve their safety leadership;

8. managers/supervisors learn to think about aspects of human factors.

In justifying behavioural interventions, it is often claimed that 70-80% of incidents are caused by ‘human error’. However company management usually see the ‘human’ in human error as referring to front line personnel. Therefore, behavioural safety interventions tend to focus on the behaviours of front line staff.

Safety culture/climate surveys have been

very popular in recent years and these initiatives are also usually aimed at understanding and optimising the attitudes of front line personnel rather than investigating management attitudes and behaviours. Discussing the focus on front line staff in reported ‘causes’ of accidents, Trevor Kletz states that: ‘Managers and designers, it seems, are either not human or do not make errors’ (Kletz 2001, p.317).

A focus on individual operators ignores latent conditions that underlie incidents and implies that incidents can be prevented simply by operators “taking more care”. However, as Andrew Hopkins, an expert witness in the inquiry into major fires and explosion at the Longford facility in 1998, points out:

‘creating the right mindset is not a strategy which can be effective in dealing with hazards about which workers have no knowledge and which can only be identified and controlled by management’ (2000, p. 75).

Management and organisational factors have a large influence on accidents and incidents, either directly or through their impact on the behaviours of employees. It is these management decisions etc. that are usually excluded from behavioural safety approaches (and usually not included in other safety initiatives). In fact, the management decision to initiate a behavioural approach may itself be flawed.

Although the immediate causes of major incidents frequently involve ‘human error’ of operators or maintenance personnel, the reasons that these errors occurred in the first place are usually the responsibility of those more senior in the organisation. Management and organisational failures, such as inadequacies in competency assurance systems, poorly designed equipment, or a lack of resources, have the potential to influence the behaviours of everyone in the organisation.

Major hazard or safety critical industries such as refineries, chemical plants, nuclear facilities and offshore installations should consider exactly

As stated in the previous article Clive Johnson, Group Health and Safety Manager of Land Securities, visited ARCA’s Head Office Training centre at Burton upon Trent to deliver Land Securities in house ‘Working at Height’ and ‘Behavioural Safety’ presentations. The recent HSE focus on the competency of asbestos removal operatives working for HSE Licensed asbestos removal companies brings the subject of ‘Safety Behaviour’ into sharp focus. The Pye Tait report commissioned by the HSE on ‘A Commentary on Routes to Competence in the Construction Industry’ concludes that the construction industry’s current understanding of ‘competence’ may warrant extension to develop an ‘industry-specific’ definition and broadening to encompass both situational awareness and the sustaining of appropriate behaviours.The following article is adapted from an article taken from the HSE Web site and talks about safety behaviour in general within high risk occupations. As asbestos removal companies are now focussing more than ever on the competency of their staff we thought that this article may provide food for thought when considering the safety culture within your own organisation.

ARCA & ATAC NEWS 15

which aspects of “health and safety” a behavioural intervention may be able to influence.

Behavioural safety interventions tend to focus on behaviours relating to personal health and safety; such as the wearing of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), positioning of the body in relation to hazardous equipment, and issues relating to working at height (e.g. wearing of harnesses, proper use of ladders). Behavioural interventions may be able to demonstrate improvements, for example, in the wearing of PPE, but this is of little relevance if those wearing the PPE do not have the underlying knowledge to respond appropriately to a developing incident, or if there are insufficient operators available. Hi-visibility jackets and hard hats offer little protection in a major fire or explosion.

Many supporters of behavioural safety programmes state that large improvements in safety have been made in the past decade or so in engineering and safety management systems; and that new approaches are required to encourage further improvement. Although large advances have been made in these areas, major accidents are still occurring due to failures in these aspects. It is therefore not appropriate to conclude that we have ‘solved’ engineering causes of accidents, nor to assume that no further focus on management systems is required. A publication by the Step Change initiative in the offshore oil and gas industry acknowledges that:

‘addressing behaviours must not be seen as an alternative to ensuring that adequate engineering design and effective safety management systems are in place’ (Step Change, 2000, p.5).

Cultural or behavioural interventions will only be successful if engineering, technical and systems aspects are in place and adequately managed. Therefore, before sites (particularly those that manage major hazards) embark on a behavioural safety programme, they need to ensure that they have satisfied the following conditions:

w all hazards have been identified;

w human performance issues have been identified and managed (particularly in relation to safety critical roles and activities);

w the “hierarchy of control” has been applied to prevent the realisation of identified hazards, or minimise their consequences should they occur;

w the site has the required engineering, operating and maintenance capability and experience (including appropriate staffing levels;)

w accurate operating procedures are available for all eventualities, including process upsets and emergencies;

w operators are fully prepared to deal with all conditions, including process abnormalities. This will include identification of training needs, training, assessment, rehearsal and re-assessment. This training should include underlying knowledge of the process, so that operators can ‘troubleshoot’ -identify and respond to abnormal situations as they develop – it should not just provide the minimum knowledge required to operate the plant. This will help to manage ‘residual risk’ arising from hazards that were not identified, or effectively addressed;

w lessons have been learnt from site, company and industry experience;

w succession planning ensures that corporate knowledge is retained;

w safety management arrangements and risk control measures have been reviewed to ensure that they remain usable and relevant.

Once the above technical and systems issues have been addressed, the site then needs to ask whether a behavioural approach is the right approach at this time. Only when the above issues have been addressed can it be assumed that accidents are due to cultural or behavioural factors. In order for a behavioural intervention to prosper, there are several aspects that must be considered, including that:

w there exists an appropriate balance between production and safety;

w there is visible and real management to health and safety;

w there is management commitment and the resources to see it through;

w there is a high level of trust between management and employees.

Finally, once all of the above criteria are in place, if a site decides to embark on a behavioural intervention, the following general advice may be useful (much of which also applies to other health and safety interventions):

w don’t underestimate the resources required – it is not a one-off exercise, but a new way of working that must be maintained for any positive results to be sustained;

w don’t be over-optimistic – not all interventions are completely successful in their main aim. High expectations may lead to later disillusionment;

w be clear about what you want to achieve and how you will know that you have achieved it;

w pilot the intervention (e.g. to ensure that the approach is workable, that the facilitators/ observers understand what’s required and that the appropriate data is being recorded);

w talk to other similar companies/trade associations about their interventions and experiences;

w as with all interventions, listen to your employees and use the process to improve dialogue – involve employees early in the choice of programme;

w make the language, style etc. of the package your own (off-the-shelf packages may not be appropriate for your site/needs);

w use strong site facilitators – the success of such interventions is greatly helped by personable, experienced and respected site personnel as facilitators;

w ensure that the focus is on the root causes of behaviours;

w on major hazard sites, don’t neglect process safety; (beware ‘what gets measured gets done’).

On major hazard sites, there is a danger that behavioural programmes may draw resources and attention away from process safety issues. Organisations embarking on behavioural programmes should retain a balanced approach between personal safety and major accident safety, and to consider whether a behavioural intervention is right for their company at this time.

The key messages from this article are:

1. behavioural interventions are only one aspect of ‘human factors’,

2. these programmes are only one tool in the safety practitioners toolbox,

3. know the limits of such interventions, and

4. prepare the ground before attempting such an intervention.

T he inaugural conference of the Retail Asbestos Working Group (RAWG) was

held at the ASDA Merchandising Centre of Excellence in Leeds on 4th September. ARCA made representation as both an exhibitor and conference attendee, and further practical displays were erected by ARCA members Rhodar Ltd and Shield Environmental Services Ltd, together with an exhibition stand from ATaC member Environmental Essentials Ltd.

The conference was attended by over 400 delegates from the UK retail sector, and attendees included directors, project managers, quantity surveyors, supply chain partners, compliance managers and safety managers. Presentations were made by key players in the development of the Working Group, and covered a range of topics including an introduction to asbestos and it’s uses, properties and health risks; significance of asbestos in the retail sector; consequences of getting it wrong; asbestos surveys, removal and air monitoring; licensing requirements; emergencies; and acquisitions. The close out was a question and answer session with the presenters, who answered questions raised by delegates during the course of the day.

A common recurring theme throughout the day was the imperative need for meticulous planning in managing the many and varied issues surrounding asbestos in buildings. The necessity of accurate surveys, updated at every change of circumstance, to exemplary standards of asbestos abatement – values at the heart of the objectives of ARCA and ATaC – were clearly addressed. The conference was organised

to continue to emphasise the importance of correctly managing asbestos containing materials in retail properties, and followed the launch in 2013 of the RAWG publication ‘The management of asbestos-containing materials in the retail sector’. This guidance was prepared by the retail industry to provide clarity about managing asbestos and about removing or working with ACM’s (Asbestos Containing Materials) in trading stores and shops. It outlines the steps that should be taken by clients, employers and others in the construction sector such as principal contractors, licensed asbestos removal contractors and other sub-contractors, who have a duty to ensure asbestos is removed or worked on safely. The publication is available for free download at www.brc.org.uk/asbestos-guidance

The retail sector faces particular challenges in managing ACM’s in an environment where there is little downtime in terms of store closure. There is a daily interface with the public, with millions of shoppers entering stores every week of the year. Thousands of contractors may also be required to undertake seemingly straightforward tasks such as repairing a leak, or rectifying damage following a break-in – tasks that become more complicated and specialised with the presence of ACM’s, and potentially disastrous if the presence of the ACM’s is unknown, unclear, or not fully communicated to the contractor.

Several enforcement officers were in the audience, and while enforcement has a role in the asbestos industry, the attitude towards working to exemplary standards was epitomised

in the concluding remarks of ASDA’s Vice President of Construction and Faculties, Will Smith, who stated that ‘standards enforced don’t work half as well as standards embraced’. He stressed the importance of all retailers working and sharing experiences together to ensure all retail colleagues, customers and contractors remain safe at all times.

The Retail Asbestos Working Group was set up in 2012 by a number of like-minded retailers who wanted to improve the management of ACM’s in the retail sector. Health & Safety Managers and Directors from Asda, Boots, Land Securities, Marks & Spencer and Tesco set up the group with this aim in mind, and on the back of a number of high profile HSE prosecutions. The group wanted to share good practice standards for the sector and publish free guidance targeted at all retailers. The group intends to continue working with HSE and other stakeholders to continue to be at the forefront of good practice for this sector, influencing policy and providing technical expertise.

Over 400 retail delegates attend first conference

training update

Training needs analysis has taken

a fair share of the industry spotlight

in 2014 and is set to continue as the

key element for 2015.

Previously, in the last edition of

ARCA news, I set out the key steps

we can follow to implement a

training needs analysis approach

into ARCA members companies.

Here’s a quick recap of the

TNA cycle (Fig 1).

Once you get to ‘Produce training needs analysis’ segment what then? To this end the ARCA Training Committee

have set a number of goals to ensure that:

a. Members can provide ARCA with the training needs analysis training information in a simple and easy to understand format. Preferably electronically, but available in print, if neccessary.

b. ARCA receive training needs analysis and can translate this information into an effective training delivery for each individual.

c. Both ARCA and its members have a level of understanding as to the level of training that is required for each individual, for example, what is their current base level of knowledge?

d. Some form of assessment is undertaken to ensure that the knowledge has been retained and understood.

A diagrammatical example of the process between ARCA and its members is illustrated below (Fig 2).

So what do you have to do?Initially, complete the TNA form and booking

form and return to ARCA. Both forms can be submitted either electronically or printed off and sent back in the post or faxed. The actual form itself, forms part of a booklet that provides guidance on how to complete it and where TNA information can be sourced. The modules are based on the familiar modules stated in HSG 247 – The licensed contractors guide, Chapter 4.

What happens when ARCA get the form back?We’ll book your employee onto the course

you’ve specified or we’ll contact you with alternative dates. The form will also produce a detailed lesson plan for the ARCA Trainer.

so I have a training needs analysis...

...what next?

training update

Do I have to complete a TNA form?ARCA are supporting members to move from

the previously generic approach to refresher training. The industry used for training and to a Training Needs Analysis approach which provides a detailed training solution to training for ARCA members.

ARCA will be delivering three types of courses for members:

1. New Operatives; New Supervisors.These are standard courses for those individuals new to the role and needing comprehensive training.

2. Industry Refresher for Operatives or Supervisors.The industry refresher will be available to members as a stop gap in providing training for operatives and supervisors. It will be delivered using industry information gathered by ARCA from a number of sources, such as, Site audit Accreditation Scheme findings; feedback from our Level 2 Operatives and Level 3 Supervisors Competency assessments and feedback from other industry sources such as HSE. This course will enable members to access training that is specific to the industry as they implement a Training Needs Analysis approach to into their business.

3. TNA based Refresher for Operatives and Supervisors.This course is designed for those ARCA member companies that have a TNA that has been given to ARCA and we will deliver that training along with some of the elements from the industry refresher. However, the key focus of training will be on the training needs of the individual.

What do the knowledge/skills scales on the form signify?To ensure that we provide the focussed

training for the employee we’re using a scale to show us how much the employee already understands and how much we’ve got to impart to them to bring them up to speed.

This is what the points on the scale represent:

1. Unacceptable.Employees’ performance at this level is consistently below the expectations for the role. Employee does not demonstrate necessary knowledge or skill to perform in this area and will require significant close supervision to complete the tasks. This level may also be given to someone who is operating in a new role and is unfamiliar with an area.

2. Needs improvement Employee demonstrates fundamental grasp of competency and is beginning to incorporate its principles into their work. However, the employee consistently demonstrates that there is opportunity to develop further. Note: Many new employees find themselves in this category for at least the first six months to a year on the job. This point could also be used when a promotion has been given and the individual is in a learning phase with regard to his/her new role.

3. Meets some of the expected performance standards.The employee has met some of the required performance and expectations of the job but may not have reached all of the agreed-upon performance standards. An employee performing at this level may be described as able and competent in particular areas, but needs training in other areas to bring their performance up to the desired level.

4. Meets expectationsEmployee meets expectations in this area, using ability and experience to produce the desired results for their role. However, they are not using all the skills and knowledge on a regular

basis and need to ‘refresh’ their knowledge to maintain their competency. Suitable for those employees going for promotion or maintaining the knowledge levels on the role through a continual professional development programme.

The form also has an additional text box next to each module and current performance scale. Please provide additional detail within this section to assist in the training delivery.

Will the individual still get atraining certificate?The straight forward answer is yes and the

certificate will state what training the individual has received. If they have undertaken ‘New’ training then they will be given a certificate detailing out the full syllabus of elements they have undertaken. With ‘Industry Refresher’ training then the certificate will state what was covered as identified by ARCA as industry training needs. The ‘TNA based Training’ certificate will reflect some elements of the industry refresher and only those additional modules the individual has covered as part of their identified training needs.

When will the form bemade available?The form is available now and we’re making it

available to all members from our webpages and it’s free to download.

1) This guidance note is intended for members engaged in notified, licensable work carried out under the terms of a licence granted by the Health & Safety Executive; it is intended to clarify legal and organisational constraints.

2) All licence holders will already be aware that asbestos licensing is a permissioning regime, one of only a very few that operate in the United Kingdom. The Health and Safety Commission’s (HSC) Policy Statement ‘Our approach to permissioning regimes’ is available from the Health and Safety Executive’s (HSE) website at http://www.hse.gov.uk/enforce/permissioning.pdf. Licensing is an addition to the general framework of health and safety law. It is expected to be relatively resource intensive for both duty holders and the enforcing authorities and it is therefore reserved for situations of particular hazard and public concern, where a high degree of regulatory control is appropriate.

3) Regulation 8 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 requires an employer to hold a licence, granted by HSE, in order to undertake “licensable work with asbestos” (as defined in regulation 2). It follows that those workers carrying out the work will be employees of that employer.

4) Health and Safety law is most likely to consider a notifying licence holder to be the employer for the following reasons (see links for

references and sources of further information):

a) the licence holder has direct and immediate control over the way the work is done i.e. the work follows a “suitable and sufficient” plan of work, prepared by the licence holders’ senior management prior to notification;

b) the licence holder has the power to select and appoint workers;

c) the licence holder provides equipment for the work;

d) the licence holder controls the time/location of the work.

Genuinely self-employed persons would be working under their own control and direction; in such cases, those individuals would need their own personal licence to undertake the work with asbestos and would notify their work in accordance with standard licence conditions.

5) Tax matters are enforced by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and are not an area HSE is likely to explore. However, HMRC tests of employment status appear to be very similar to those used by HSE when considering duties under health and safety law. The HMRC website can be found here: http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/calcs/esi.htm and the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) is explained here: http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/cis/intro/whatis-cis.htm. This guidance suggests that anyone working under the control of a licence holder on a notified asbestos job is extremely unlikely to be eligible for CIS as they could not be described as genuinely self-employed. If licence holders have any doubt about the employment status of staff working on licensed jobs, clarification should be sought from HMRC. Breaches of legislation enforced by HMRC may be “reputational issues” relevant when HSE is considering licence action.

on asbestos licensingand employment status

employment news

This guidance is a reissue of a previous ALG memo, which was withdrawn shortly after being issued in 2012 because it overlapped with more general HSE Construction industry guidance being developed at that time. ARCA understands that the ALG memo’s interpretation of employment issues was correct, but re-publication has proved difficult due to strict government guidelines on the role of government agencies in publishing ‘new’ guidance material. This government-wide policy continues to delay the publication of new material and places greater reliance on industry creating and publishing its own guidance. As this is recognised as an important issue for members, ARCA has decided to publish the following as a Guidance Note.

Background

guidanceProvide RPE and other necessary equipment

Employers have a basic duty to provide all necessary safety equipment (PPE and RPE) and ensure face fits etc are carried out and subject to a defined, effective maintenance regime.

If a member of staff has their own RPE and insists on using it, the licence holder will need to carry out their own thorough maintenance and examination tests to ensure that the RPE meets the licence holder’s standards. Given the importance of RPE, it is reasonable for this to be a thorough visual examination by the licence holders’ own competent staff.

Check paperwork is valid, in date and relevant for the proposed role (training certification, medicals, face fits etc).

6) ALU/HSE seek evidence of effective management control from licence holders. This will mean licence holders need to (a) establish the competency of any staff working under the terms of their licence, (b) have effective arrangements for worker involvement, (c) ensure that all staff are provided with relevant equipment, information, instruction and training and (d) monitor their actual performance on site.

7) Employees on permanent contracts are more likely to have an affinity with the long term interests of an employer. Permanent staff are more likely to be fully aware of company’s expectations and polices/procedures: reliable management control and real worker engagement will be more easily achieved. Effective arrangements for worker consultation and engagement may be difficult to demonstrate where the employer-employee relationship is temporary. Where employers choose to employ staff on temporary contracts, HSE/ALU may seek a high degree of reassurance about company systems for establishing and monitoring competence.

8) Where the use of temporary staff is required, it is strongly advisable to use labour supply organisations who can demonstrate a good working knowledge of the licensed asbestos industry: it is crucial that the labour supplier and licence holder communicate clearly with each other to ensure risks and responsibilities are well defined. Labour supplier and licence

holder will need to work together to enable appropriate competency checks, equipment checks and record keeping are done. The main responsibility for staff is likely to rest with the notifying licence holder but a knowledgeable, well-organised labour supplier should save time and provide a degree of confidence and reassurance via pre-qualification checks and an understanding of licence holders’ TNA and competency requirements. In addition to the comments above (paragraph 5 on HMRC and tax status), legitimate labour supply organisations will work with client licence holders to ensure that operatives are not contracted on a ‘false’ self-employed status.

9) In general terms, the notifying licence holder must:

a) ensure the competence of staff;

b) provide appropriate health and safety equipment, instruction, training and supervision;

c) ensure that the operative is subject to appropriate medical surveillance and that appropriate exposure records are maintained;

d) ensure the operative has been inducted and trained in company procedures and policies;

e) provide a suitable method of work and effective supervision to ensure that general procedures and site specific methods are followed.

f) ALU has been encouraging inspectors at assessment, and during the licence period, to seek evidence (such as invoices) that the applicant is providing training/medicals/RPE for all staff.

10) The Fig 1 above provides further guidance.

Licence holder duties(prior to and during employment)

Employment status and supervisors- additional comments

11) There is no special legal status for the employment status of supervisors, but members should refer to the existing ALG memo on supervision (see below for references). This describes the crucial importance of the supervisor role. The issues of competence and management oversight are particularly significant.

Worker consultation

Worker consultation and involvement means the full participation of the workforce in the management of health and safety. All employers are required to work together with employees to develop, maintain and promote effective measures that ensure health and safety at work. Effective consultation will result in an open and blame-free culture, which positively encourages and uses employees’ input. If licence holders choose to employ staff on a casual or temporary basis this may be more difficult to demonstrate. Enforcing authorities are likely to look for evidence that consultation is working in practice.

Monitor and measure performance All licence holders are expected to have well-defined policies, procedures and arrangements for monitoring and measuring the work of site teams. This will cover the entire range of the licence holder’s work. For example, it will encompass the performance of contracts managers who plan work and oversee site teams. The level of supervision and monitoring will vary greatly depending on the competency of staff. This will be reflected in job planning, resourcing and assignment of supervisors.

Where staff are new to the organisation, senior managers/directors/contracts managers should have very close oversight of the work until the company can be satisfied about basic competencies, compliance with company procedures and the standards of work being achieved on site.

Enforcing authorities are likely to expect to see evidence of such a system and evidence that, in practice, it is working. For example the system will be described in company procedures and policies and there will be records showing how it is working in practice (in site files, personnel files, audit documentation etc).

Establish competenceCompetence does NOT simply mean that the operative/supervisor/manager has a current training certificate. A competent individual has the experience, training and personal characteristics appropriate for the job at hand. Asbestos specific training will have been delivered in accordance with a training needs analysis: this means that the employer will have monitored an individual’s actual performance and identified what training is required. This may be more difficult to demonstrate where the licence holder chooses to employ staff on a casual or temporary basis.

Staff should only be employed in situations appropriate to their experience, skills and training. In practice, new staff (or temporary staff) are likely to require a higher degree of monitoring and supervision in addition to pre-start competency checks. The notifying licence holder will always need to verify competence by on-site performance monitoring (see below).

product news

F or over 35 years, Fiberlock Technologies, Inc. has been the leading manufacturer of

products used to address environmental, safety and health hazards in the USA and Canada. Primarily focused on the asbestos abatement industry, Fiberlock has expanded into many other environmental remediation markets including lead abatement, mold remediation and disaster restoration--markets that are served by our diverse portfolio of over 80 products.

For the past 10 years, Fiberlock has increased its overseas footprint into Asia, Australia and Eastern Europe and we are now expanding into the United Kingdom.

The asbestos contracting industry in the United Kingdom is a market that has always been on our radar but we recognised that we needed to make a significant commitment to enter the market if we want to succeed: A commitment in terms of product testing, active industry participation and local product availability. That is why we thoroughly tested our asbestos encapsulants to British Standards and achieved Building Regulations class 0 ratings, joined ARCA as an

associate member, and set up a local distribution warehouse in the UK (located Northeast of London in Romford). We are confident that the asbestos contracting community will benefit from the additional product options that we bring to the table both now and in the future.

Fiberlock is currently offering two core asbestos encapsulant products in the United Kingdom: SerpiCoat is an easy to apply interior/exterior white semi-gloss finish asbestos encapsulant. SerpiMastic is an ultra durable interior/exterior off-white asbestos encapsulant. SerpiMastic is available in either a “sprayable” version or a thicker “trowelable” version. Both SerpiCoat and SerpiMastic have achieved Building Regulations Class 0 ratings. SerpiMastic Sprayable is ideally suited for use as an encapsulant for asbestos cement board on exterior roofs and siding. Asbestos cement board is a common material throughout the UK and SerpiMastic can be applied to extend the life of these materials and limit the release of harmful asbestos fibers. SerpiMastic used to coat asbestos cement roofing is a much less expensive option than removal.

Ultimately, our message to the asbestos contracting community in the United Kingdom is that we want to be a partner for growth. In North America we have been actively involved in many emerging environmental industries.

Everyone invests a great deal of time and effort in producing ‘paperwork’: how can we make

sure that we get the most benefit out of it? In this article, I take a brief look at the planning process and the paperwork associated with it.

There are legal requirements dictating the provision of written plans and providing ‘suitable and sufficient’ plans is also a condition of any work carried out under the terms of a licence. Licence conditions explicitly demand that plans are followed on site; in other words, the written plan is seen as an important part of management control. Given the amount of effort that goes into generating paperwork, it’s worth questioning whether these documents really work for you and help the way your business works? Do they genuinely help site teams and their managers work safely and efficiently?

Planning is central to any management approach; apart from immediate safety management, it touches on a wide range of issues and potential benefits, such as:

w accurately pricing works;w ensuring efficient methods are chosen;w demonstrating control and professionalism to clientsw demonstrating a sensible site / job assessment;w engaging and involving the workforce;w reviewing the performance of estimators, contracts managers and site teams.

The table below shows the multiple elements associated with planning, and suggests what each element might look like, when done well.

A number of people/roles are likely to be involved with these elements and there should be good communication and feedback between all those using or producing plans.

INITIAL ENQUIRIES, PRICINGTechnical knowledge is clearly very important

in the early stages: accurate estimates need to weigh up the most efficient (and safest) methods and decide what resources will be required for this client in these particular circumstances. In order to make accurate judgements there needs to be a thorough risk assessment, a full consideration of industry standards, legal requirements and the restrictions that might follow from licensing.

Whilst a fully-fledged ‘written’ plan of work might not be finished at this stage, crucial decisions and assessments will have been decided. Does the person in this role have the experience and knowledge to make judgements that could have a

knock on effect for the rest of the project, whether big or small? When it is being done well, enquiries are handled in an accurate, timely and polite way, leading to successful bids. The accuracy of initial scoping makes successful completions more likely, to time and budget and to the highest industry standards.

PLANNING, DURING ANDAFTER WORKThe ALG memo on planning emphasises

the need for written plans to be practical and useful. Most importantly, a plan will help guide the site team in working safely and it sets out what management expects to happen. The ALG memo suggests that a visiting manager (or client representative, HSE or LA inspector, analyst etc.) should be able to measure a site team against the plan. Where a plan is practical and useful, interested visitors would be able to compare the intentions of company managers (as written in the plan) against the reality of what is in front of them on site.

Where plans are useful and genuinely helping site teams, this should be clear during visits and audits. Anyone checking the quality of a plan should clearly recognise that it describes a realistic method for a particular situation and is not cluttered with generic ‘cut and paste’ information and procedures that could apply to every job and every situation. The plan will clearly explain the scope, sequence, and method of working that is expected on this particular site.

There is great scope for demonstrating management control and quality standards through technology. Good use of technology could link photographic (or video) records of key

management update

stages and hold-points, or of a plan’s particular removal and set-up tasks being carried out. Daily checks might be electronically linked to the plan. An electronic planning and site diary system could enable any manager to see what is being done, when and how even remotely. These kinds of approaches to planning could be used to actually show clients the high levels of guidance and control that are being achieved, as standard.

Any of the features mentioned above would also be useful for job reviews. On completion, the plan could help operatives and supervisors give structured feedback about things that worked well (or badly) on a particular project. And in the longer term, patterns and trends could be analysed by comparing the performance of estimators, contracts managers, supervisors and operatives against the work documented by clear plans.

This is a brief overview of the subject. ARCA intends to produce further guidance on the issue in the near future, supported by new workshops and seminars and building on the existing ARCA management, risk assessment and planning training.

In the meantime, ARCA can offer advice on planning and any other aspects of safety management. We can use our collective health and safety, asbestos and management expertise to meet your requirements in a confidential, impartial and professional manner. In terms of planning, this might range from a ‘desk top review’ of a plan of work, advice on particular jobs/problems/sites, or more extensive reviews of planning and general management systems.

management update

Membership of the asbestos industry’s only professional body, the Asbestos Removal

Management Institute (ARMI), is not only based on qualifications, but requires members to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of their roles and responsibilities, and in particular how they provide management and leadership to those they are responsible for managing.

Thorough examination of a candidate’s suitability to join ARMI is assessed via the professional interview. The pilot assessments have now been completed. The 5 pilot assessments were dual assessed by Mike Wilkes and Jim Skilling. 4 of those who attended the pilots were successful in their interview and granted membership of the Institute. In future professional interviews will now be conducted by one assessor. The interview will be recorded should anyone wish to appeal against any decision to grant membership of the institute or not. The interview can then be reviewed by an independent assessor in order to satisfy any appeal process.

The first members of the Asbestos Removal Management Institute (ARMI) are:

Mr Gerrard Maguire Fellow

Mr Gareth Sharvin Member

ARMI Amendment toRules of Membership.

The aim of ARMI was always to increase the standards of leadership and management within the asbestos removal industry. The intention was to motivate managers and leaders within the industry to acquire formal qualifications in leadership and management and then demonstrate how they applied the knowledge gained by attending the professional interview. It is apparent that the current membership process is not sufficient to motivate the majority of managers and leaders in the industry to acquire recognised leadership and management qualifications. In order to try and address this the ARMI Rules of Membership have been modified. Applications for membership are now accepted for the Member and Affiliate grade of membership from those applicants who have enrolled on a suitable leadership and management qualification. The application will be accepted subject to proof of enrolment being provided. In order to maintain membership any applicants applying under this rule must be able to demonstrate year on year progress to achieving their qualification and the qualification must be achieved within 3 years

ARCA Offering Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM) Qualifications.

ARCA Members who have attended the ARCA regional meetings over the past year or so will have heard the updates regarding ARMI and

may remember me saying that ARCA had no intentions of offering leadership and management qualifications unless the industry specifically wanted them delivered by ARCA. This was because ARCA felt there were a lot of providers of the Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM) and Chartered Management Institute (CMI) courses and there probably was not sufficient demand for ARCA to provide these qualifications. However it appears that members would be interested in ARCA providing the qualifications for three main reasons.

1) The qualifications can be delivered over 3 years which will give delegates sufficient time to achieve their qualification as many are very busy and spare time is at a premium

2) Delegates can attend the tutorial sessions and learn with their peers which means that the course material can be tailored specifically for leadership and management within the asbestos removal industry

3) Gaining their qualifications by the ARCA route means that by enrolling on the ARCA qualification meets the qualification requirement for ARMI membership.

ARCA are currently in the process of applying for Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM) Centre Approval which will then allow ARCA to deliver ILM qualifications. We are planning to commence delivery of ILM qualifications from January 2015

the heart of Vilamoura. The pair’s matches were played on the Saturday at Vila Sol Golf Resort. The scenery consists of pine, almond and fig trees, plants, flowers, lakes and streams, which all add to the pleasure and challenge of competing at this championship golf course. The weather was warm and sunny and after a fiercely fought contest the scores at the end of the first day showed the northern team had a distinct advantage going in to day 2, with the score at 8 points to the north and 3 to the south.

Once again ARCA sent two teams representing the North and South of the

country to Vilamoura, Portugal, to contest the Glen Telford Memorial Trophy. This year the event took place between the 19th and 22nd of September, with the golf played on the 20th and 21st. The two teams were captained by Graham Gardner of Grade 3 Ltd (Northern Team) and Darren Wickins of Keltbray Environmental Services Ltd (Southern Team).

The golfers were once gain based at the Tivoli Marina Hotel located alongside the marina in

Southern Team retain the ARCA European Golf Titlethe Oceanico O’Connor course at Amendoeira takes full advantage of being situated in a fertile valley. Its various water features, both lakes and watercourses, that are spread throughout the entire course, demand accuracy and test all golfers, and the rich topsoil has been skilfully landscaped and planted with mature palm trees, affording a lush, ornamental setting like an extensive oasis. As the day progressed it became obvious that the southern team was beginning to claw back the lead that the northern team had established on the first day. This turned out to be the case, as when the scores were announced the southern team had won by a score of 17 ½ to 14 ½.

Graham Gardner, northern captain, presented the Glen Telford Memorial Trophy to Darren Wickins, southern captain to draw the event to a close. Next year’s event is set to be held once again in Portugal, based in Vilamoura. Early intelligence suggests that the northern team will be captained by Phil Mullins of Aspect Contracts Ltd, and the southern team will be captained by Ross Darsey of Erith Contractors Ltd.

There has been some correspondence recently causing confusion on the matter of licensed

contractor’s requirements and the need for a licence to be obtained by the scaffold contractor where the scaffold framework forms part of any enclosure.

This matter has been raised due to the wording in the recent Approved Code of Practice 143 from December 2013 that states on Regulation/ACOP 16 Paragraph 391:

391 Erecting scaffolding when it is foreseeable that the asbestos may be disturbed, and/or when the scaffold forms part of an enclosure will be licensable work.

This does not mean that all scaffold contractors that erect scaffolding framework require an asbestos licence and HSE’s expectations are unchanged. Industry guidance in Asbestos Liaison Group (ALG) Memo 01/10 remains valid. http://www.hse.gov.uk/aboutus/meetings/committees/alg/memo0110.pdf

A scaffold framework is not part of the enclosure. The enclosure is formed as a means of containing possible airborne fibres by means of fitting polythene sheeting and other means.The above is not what a scaffold framework is intended to do as the containment element is undertaken by the licensed removal contractor and the scaffold handed back to the contractor.

A scaffold contractor would only require an asbestos licence if it was foreseeable that exposure was to take place. An example of this would be during alterations or adaptions within a live enclosure.

The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 are very descriptive on the requirement for a licence and these clearly do not include work by a scaffold contractor erecting scaffolding framework where the risk of exposure is not foreseeable.

“Licensable work with asbestos” is work-

(a) where the exposure to asbestos of employees is not sporadic and of low intensity; or

(b) in relation to which the risk assessment cannot clearly demonstrate that the control limit will not be exceeded; or

(c) on asbestos coating; or

(d) on asbestos insulating board or asbestos insulation for which the risk assessment -

(i) demonstrates that the work is not sporadic and of low intensity, or

(ii) cannot clearly demonstrate that the control limit will not be exceeded, or

(iii) demonstrates that the work is not short duration work;

Existing requirements for workplace Risk Assessment and General Asbestos Awareness Training for employees will obviously remain.
