HSE are currently targeting the following areas...
Exposure to noise...
The HSE’s will be focusing on the ability to identify risk, examining the controls and ensuring appropriate levels of health surveillance are in place – checking periodically whether the controls in place are working efficiently to prevent and reduce noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL).
Asbestos...
HSE will check how asbestos is managed when visiting a range of buildings – like schools and hospitals – requiring those responsible for managing asbestos risks to ensure they have the right arrangements in place. Updated information, new templates (including an asbestos management plan template), and explanatory videos can be found on HSE’s website to help anyone who is unsure of their legal duties – or just need to refresh themselves – on what they need to do.
