Hereford & Worcester - About Us
A small group of like minded individuals working together to promote the benefits of working in the Herefordshire & Worcestershire areas.
We were one of the first groups to organise Designer Awareness Days (DADs) for local architects in January 2007 prior to the revised Construction (Design & Management) Regulations 2007. These were so oversubscribed and gained such positive feedback, they were adapted and repeated throughout the Midlands, as well as another event held in the local area at the end of the year.
Have organised some very successful and well attended SHADs at the Three Counties Showground in Malvern over the years and most recently a Scaffolders event in February 2009.
The Group actively promote HSE's current priorities and thrive on trialling new ideas. New members are always welcome - so please contact either Yvonne Mazzotta 01179 886012 yvonne.mazzotta@hse.gsi.gov.uk or Andy Wheeler 01788-861703 andy.m.wheeler@carillionplc.com
AN INTRODUCTION TO ASBESTOS
Asbestos was once viewed as a miracle product and used massively in construction and refurbishment from the 1940’s through to the 1990’s. Even now it is still so embedded in the built environment that it can be encountered daily.
