Decision details

To consider and agree Kent County Council's Policy and Procedures for the management of asbestos. This Policy outlines how Kent County Council will meet its legal duties for the management of asbestos.

This includes a:

Risk Assessment/Survey Programme

The 3-year rolling program of risk assessments/ survey programme, forms and integral part of the statutory compliance package managed by Gen2 and covers both Corporate Landlord and the school estate.

Total cost for Corporate Landlord approximately £100,000

Total cost for Schools approximately £320,000.

Remedial Works

Remedial works related to asbestos can be difficult to correctly estimate as it is dependent on the size and complexity of the tasks undertaken. 

Schools that require asbestos remedial works are the responsibility of KCC if these works are a direct recommendation from the asbestos management survey. Work falling outside of the survey remit are at the cost of the school

As Cabinet Member for Corporate and Democratic Services, I agree to the update of the Kent County Council Policy and Procedures for the Management of asbestos.
