Asbestos awareness week Kia ora Whanau,
I currently work in the Asbestos industry as a Health and Safety Manager, the business I work for is a family owned SME employing around 15 staff. Having a dedicated HS role is not common and prior to my starting relied on the Boss's interpretation of the ACoP. I can say we're in a good position now with ISO45001 and systems that exceed requirements.
Agree we need an Industry forum to share learnings, strategy and implement best practice, I would be happy to get involved and it might inspire the regulator to step to the plate. Poor practice I see from trades, other removalists and especially DIYers is staggering... killing themselves and they don't even care.
