I've not posted here for a while and to be honest probably will not do so again. I do still blog you can read my musings at The Thanet Star where I write about Thanet in general but I've given up with TDC to be honest. Getting beaten up by TDC builders and then harassed by a cop not liking my reporting him to the police complaints commission (over the aforementioned assault's (lack of) investigation), took that spark right out of what should have been a blog about doing basic gardening (because the council can not maintain even a featureless yard). I never got an answer out of the council over any of these issues and all three councillors failed to even stand for this area when the elections came around. That's not to say that they did not stand. (No one much felt like cleaning up the mess the council had made when it was clear that helping earns you a ride in an ambulance).

I have started to talk about green issues again at The Green Moral and I have been talking about geek stuff and my general opinions like how much I loath the council and their workers when they are not up to the job (talking about that hello to the chap who serviced my boiler thanks for the advice that was dead handy). Anyway things of the geeky and opinionated nature are found at the oddly-named Fantastic Site of Lord Matt, Super Geek. Don't forget if you liked this blog come and see The Thanet Star - I think you might love it.

What follows is an archive of neglect that is officialy denied by TDC.

Health and Safety Information Sheet - Controlling Asbestos at your Workplace

The Health and Safety at Work, etc Act 1974
The Control of Asbestos at Work Regulations 1987 (as amended)



Health and Safety Information Sheet - Controlling Asbestos at your Workplace: "

What are my duties relating to asbestos?

If you are an employer, you already have a legal duty to prevent the exposure of your employees to asbestos under the Health & Safety at Work etc. Act 1974. In the future, a new explicit duty to manage asbestos will be added to the Control of Asbestos at Work Regulations. This will require you to manage the risk from asbestos by:


  • identifying asbestos in the premises, its amount and what condition it is in;

  • presuming materials contain asbestos, unless you have strong evidence that they do not;

  • making and keeping up to date a record of the location and condition of any asbestos containing materials (ACMs), or presumed ACM’s in your premises;

  • assessing the risk from the material;

  • preparing a plan that sets out in detail how you are going to manage the risk from this material;

  • taking steps needed to put your plan into action;

  • reviewing and monitoring your plan and the arrangements made to put it in place, and providing information on the location and condition of the material to anyone who is liable to work on it or could inadvertently disturb it.

"

This has been a documentation of the impact of District Council (TDC) contracting and sub-contracting standards.
