Asbestos Compliance Health Check

The tool for checking your legal obligations have been met.

Over the years, we have made every effort to protect people from the dangers of asbestos. That protection starts with you understanding your legal obligations. You will then be able to ensure that you are fully compliant. Your full compliance with the asbestos regulations helps protect people from asbestos’s dangers.

Are you an asbestos expert? The answer is probably no. We have many clients, and each has different levels of understanding and expertise in the field of asbestos. 

You may be one of those people who believe an asbestos survey gives you compliance. You may be someone who has more knowledge and knows that there must be an asbestos management plan in addition to the survey. 

You may even be one of those people who understand the need for an asbestos survey, an asbestos management plan, an asbestos action plan and training. 

Whatever your knowledge, there is always something to learn. 

Let me ask you a question. 

Did you know that over 70 specific items are required for full compliance with current asbestos regulations? 

That’s 70 items under the duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises – regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. 

Yes, you read that correctly 70 specific items.

Unless you are an asbestos industry expert, it is unlikely that you will know what these are or if what you have is suitable and sufficient. That’s why we have put together the asbestos compliance health check tool. 

This tool is for you. It has been specifically designed to make asbestos compliance easy to understand and implement. It will give you the knowledge you need to comply with your duty to manage responsibilities. 

How does the asbestos compliance health check work?

The asbestos compliance health check will ask you a series of questions. Your answers to these questions are entered, which then calculates a score against each of your answers.

On completion, a certificate of compliance is produced. The certificate of compliance provides an easy-to-understand, visual representation of what you are doing well and, in some cases, where you need to improve.

The asbestos compliance health check generates recommendations to ensure compliance and legal obligations under the duty to manage legislation.

How long does the asbestos compliance health check take?

Prior to a member of the Oracle team working through the asbestos compliance health check tool with you, we will send you a short email detailing what information you should have to hand.

Following this, there will be either a face-to-face or video conference meeting, where we will walk you through the process of answering the simple questions generated by the health check.

The whole process usually takes 15 to 30 minutes. You will agree that this is a very short period of time for checking your compliance status and giving you a detailed overview of where you are doing well and where you need to improve.

What happens at the end of the asbestos compliance health check?

Once the asbestos health check is complete, the tool produces the certificate of compliance. This is sent to you electronically for you to review. If you have any areas that need improvement, the certificate will detail recommendations and advice on what to do next.

The certificate will clearly show this if you are strong in all areas. It is a useful certificate to display on your premises for other people if they have any questions or concerns about how you are managing your asbestos.

It is also useful to show a visiting HSE inspector. It will clearly show that you have thought through all of the relevant areas of compliance and that you clearly understand your obligations under the duty to manage.

What does the asbestos compliance health check cost?

If you are an existing customer, the good news is that you are eligible for the asbestos compliance health check at no cost.

If you have asked us to undertake an asbestos management survey of your premises, then in an effort to protect people, we will include the asbestos compliance health check as an added value item within your survey cost.

If you are not an existing customer and are not purchasing an asbestos management survey. In that case, the asbestos compliance health check cost is £250 + VAT.
