Asbestos contract

Blackburn-based Assist FM has won the contact to provide asbestos survey and management for up to 1,800 homes on Merseyside. HSE figures show Merseyside to be a relative hotspot for asbestos, which was extensively used as a building material from the 1950s until the mid-1980s.

Pierhead Housing is the first on Merseyside to make use of Assist's web based asbestos management system.

The portal provides a web-based interface, accessible at any time via an internet connection. Keeping an easily updatable record of the location and condition of asbestos, the portal provides reporting with a mixture of interactive DWG drawings and photography to provide a future-proof solution for risk assessment to meet the latest legislation.
