Asbestos Management

Ben Whitehouse made this Freedom of Information request to The Lord Silkin School, Telford

The request was successful.

From: Ben Whitehouse

8 February 2012

Dear The Lord Silkin School, Telford,

The law of Control of Asbestos regulations 2006 requires a duty
holder to be responsible for taking reasonable steps to find
asbestos on their premises and assess the condition of these
materials.

Can you please tell me what steps have been done to comply with
this regulation? Who is your duty holder?

Has any asbestos been found in the school? What assessments have
been made of any asbestos found?

Who is responsible for preparing and implementing a plan to manage
any risks and providing information on the location and condition
of the materials to anyone who is liable to disturb them.

I request answers to the above and would like electronic copies of
all information in respect of your asbestos management planning,
locations of asbestos found within the school, what is being done
to encapsulate or remove any asbestos. Please include documentation
regarding any annual reinspection to monitor the condition of
asbestos from a professional perspective.

Yours faithfully,

Ben Whitehouse

Not sure how they worked out "no later than 14/03/2012". That's 25 days rather than 20.
