Working groups have been formed to develop solutions to industry-wide health and safety issues. The working groups in progress are noted below. Once a working group has completed their task the outcomes from the group are published as guidelines.
Asbestos Management
StayLive acknowledges that asbestos poses a serious risk in our workplaces. The risks of asbestos are often misunderstood as are the best ways to manage them. Consequently, controls may be ineffective or disproportionate for the risks. By working together, we hope to establish the right way to manage asbestos risks in our industry.
Latest News
The Asbestos Management Group have developed a maturity model for managing asbestos risk and generated key questions for managers with regards to the management of asbestos.
Further initiatives are to develop a package of supporting material covering the maturity model, key questions and answers, and a bowtie. As a bonus, we will produce a shared learnings booklet with information about locations where asbestos has been found in industry.
The Team
Chair: Louisa George (Genesis)
Team: Trish Allen (Meridian), Holly Mason (Meridian), Jason Pore (Mercury), John Skudder (Contact) & Shane Warrington (TrustPower).
Advisor: James Dodwell (EEA)
The Opportunity
To take stock on the different approaches and methods amongst the generators with regards to managing the risks of asbestos (with emphasis on how they are meeting the requirement to have an asbestos management plan for the business).
We aim to identify opportunities for member organisations to learn from each other, and for member organisations to standardise their management of asbestos risks.
Outcomes and Benefits
- Industry bowtie and self-assessment tool enabling enhanced assurance processes for risks control approaches and methods.
