Jackson Environmental Issued New Licence to Remove Asbestos
Jackson Environmental Issued New Licence to Remove Asbestos
We are pleased to announce Jackson Environmental have been granted another 3-year licence to work with asbestos by The Health & Safety Executive (HSE). This continues our run of consecutive maximum term licenses since 1991.
Asbestos Removal – A “permissioning regime”
Regulation 8 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 requires an employer to hold a licence, granted by HSE, in order to undertake “licensable work with asbestos”
Asbestos Licensing is a “permissioning regime”. One of only a very few that operate in the UK. Permissioning regimes such as asbestos licensing are only considered where the work activities involve significant hazard, risk or public concern. Asbestos is classified as a category 1 carcinogen, with asbestos related disease causing around 5000 deaths every year in the UK. Work with asbestos requires a high degree of regulatory control and the purpose of licensing is to achieve this.
