Frequently
asked questions?

The responsibility for managing asbestos in schools falls on the "dutyholder" as defined in Regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012). The dutyholder varies depending on the type of school:

  • For community schools, community special schools, voluntary-controlled schools, maintained nursery schools, and pupil referral units, the employer (local authority) is the dutyholder
  • For academies and free schools, the Academy Trust is the dutyholder
  • For voluntary-aided and foundation schools, the school governors are the dutyholders
  • For independent schools, it may be the proprietor, governors, or trustees

In secondary schools, dutyholders might include school governors responsible for health and safety, headteachers, or buildings/estates managers. In primary schools, the duty typically falls to headteachers or school bursars.

The duty to manage asbestos requires dutyholders to:

  • Know whether their premises contain asbestos, where it is, and its condition
  • Keep an up-to-date record of the location and condition of Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs)
  • Assess and manage risks from asbestos to employees and others
  • Make plans to manage the risks from ACMs and put those plans into action
  • Ensure anyone likely to work on or disturb asbestos is provided with information about its location and condition

Dutyholders must take several practical steps:

  • Arrange for an asbestos survey to be conducted on the premises
  • Create a register of ACMs based on the survey results
  • Develop an asbestos management plan outlining procedures for monitoring ACMs' condition over time
  • Ensure information about ACMs is provided to anyone who might disturb them, especially tradespeople and caretakers
  • Provide suitable training to staff who might disturb asbestos

While most staff aren't directly involved in managing buildings or maintenance:

  • All staff need to be aware of potential hazards
  • Staff should be instructed not to disturb or damage ACMs (e.g., by pinning work to walls)
  • They should report any damage to fixtures or fittings that could release asbestos fibers (e.g., damaged ceiling tiles)

Vision Pro offers comprehensive asbestos management solutions that can help dutyholders meet their legal obligations:

Centralized Management Dashboard
Vision Pro provides centralized asbestos management dashboards that give organizations a complete view of asbestos-related activities, helping to identify priority areas and estimate costs for both planned and unplanned works.

User-Friendly Navigation Structure
The software features a user-friendly building, floor, and room tree structure for seamless navigation, which can be tailored to any level of detail. This makes it ideal for managing asbestos across multiple site locations.

Real-Time Data Access
As a cloud-based solution, Vision Pro ensures secure data storage and instant real-time access to live information, significantly improving team efficiency at the site level.

Visual Risk Display
The platform allows for in-situ editing and can be populated with hotspots for a more visual display of asbestos risks, including images and video footage. This gives users an instant first-hand view of any damage or risks in hard-to-access areas.

Mobile Capabilities
Vision Pro's Mobile App enables on-site operations with effortless data editing, viewing, and creation, allowing seamless management of information directly from the field.

Comprehensive Reporting
Asbestos surveyors or contractors can easily export asbestos information into comprehensive survey reports in various formats, providing a detailed, real-time view of current asbestos risks. These reports help ensure compliance with health and safety regulations and can be branded to suit specific needs.

Electronic Tagging
The system implements electronic tagging for all asbestos materials, enabling instant data access and revolutionizing the management of asbestos-related information.

Offline Functionality
No internet connection is required on-site, allowing work to continue regardless of connectivity. When ready to sync, completed work can be sent back with one tap while simultaneously downloading new jobs.

By utilizing Vision Pro's asbestos management software, dutyholders can ensure they remain compliant with all aspects of asbestos management while streamlining their processes and improving safety across their educational facilities.

No. If there's no internet connection available on-site, you can conduct audits offline as usual and upload the data once a connection becomes available. Alternatively, you can download the site within the Mobile App before your visit, complete your survey on-site, and upload it upon returning to the office or when an internet connection is available.

Yes, we do.  We deliver online training to you and your contractors prior to implementation.

Support services are provided as part of the package.  You can call 0115 7590 715 8am – 5pm Monday – Friday, or email [email protected] any time – emails will be picked up from 6am – 5pm Monday – Friday.
