The purpose of the report was to submit an
Asbestos Policy to Cabinet for approval, ensuring compliance with
statutory duties and clarity regarding the Council’s
responsibilities as both an employer and a property owner.
 
Councillor Mike Evemy, Leader of the Council,
introduced the report and highlighted that need to replace existing
asbestos guidance with a comprehensive policy that clearly defined
the Council’s responsibilities for managing asbestos and
asbestos-containing materials. This was intended to support
delivery of the Health and Safety Work Plan and to ensure continued
compliance with statutory duties, under the Health and Safety at
Work etc. Act 1974 and associated legislation.
 
The recommendations were proposed by
Councillor Mike Evemy and seconded by Councillor Andrea
