The main changes to the regulations affect the current “Non-Licensable” work on asbestos. The “Non-Licensable” category is now split into two and an additional category has been included which is termed as “Notifiable Non-Licensable Work” (NNLW). This category is between the current “Non-Licensable” and “Licensable” categories.

Any asbestos related work which comes under the NNLW category requires the following:

• work be notified
• each worker exposed must have medical surveillance every three years
• the employer must maintain a register for each worker of the type and duration of work done with asbestos – to be kept for 40 years along with copies of all medicals.

The new regulations can be found at http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2012/632/pdfs/uksi_20120632_en.pdf

The British Occupational Hygiene Society (BOHS) Ted King Award for 2011 has been won by Environmental Evaluation’s occupational hygienist Mr Gavin Wellings . The annual award is given to the best candidate achieving the BOHS Certificate of Operational Competence in Occupational Hygiene. Gavin will be presented with the award in April 2012 at the BOHS annual conference in Cardiff.

Gavin, who is the acting occupational hygiene department manager, has been with Environmental Evaluation since 2007 and has progressed rapidly through our staff development programme to BOHS Licentiate grade.

This is the second Environmental Evaluation occupational hygienist to have won the Ted King Award in recent years. Our first winner was Susan Lett (nee Russell) who won the award in 2009.

Environmental Evaluation has a highly experienced occupational hygiene team comprising of 1 BOHS Member (MFOH) and 6 BOHS Licentiate (LFOH) grade members.

The asbestos awareness training was delivered to EDF staff and on site contractors.

The aim of the training was to provide an overall awareness of the history of asbestos use, the health effects of exposure, current and future legislation, examples where it might be found and risk assessments when working with or in the vicinity of non licensable forms of asbestos.
