RICS Seminar: Asbestos - Surveyor essentials for the domestic market
16 November 2020
Nicky Honing, Lucion Environmental’s Account Manager for the South West and Midlands region, partners with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) for a webinar to deliver essential information on asbestos management and control measures.
RICS has invited Nicky to present a CPD supported webinar session on asbestos identification, management, and removal scheduled for 15th December 2020.
The CPD supported online seminar will cover the core principles and regulatory guidance for the identification and management of Asbestos in the domestic market. Illustrated with case studies and examples, Nicky will highlight the Asbestos materials that can be found and how they can affect domestic surveyors and homeowners within a residential property.
During the past several years, as the UK market-leaders in asbestos inspection, testing, and management, Lucion Environmental’s team of experienced and highly qualified risk, asbestos, and environmental consultants have regularly delivered key seminars and speeches at past RICS events throughout the UK. The RICS event will provide another opportunity for Lucion to share best practices and advice on a key topic.
What will the seminar cover?
Even though asbestos was banned in the UK in 1999, there is still a high prevalence of buildings that contain it. With recent cases highlighting the need for more careful identification, management and removal of this hazardous material, this seminar will provide much-needed practical guidance and the latest best practice on the best approaches to dealing with asbestos.
The 1-hour Asbestos identification, management, and removal CPD session will cover:
-
Using surveys to identify different types of asbestos
-
Creating and implementing a management plan
-
Case studies and the lessons learned
-
Legal and professional indemnity insurance implications
-
RICS Guidance and other sources of information
