Asbestos Awareness

Oxford City Homes provides the maintenance service to our housing stock and as this housing stock is of various age, we have a policy for the management of Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM).

We comply with the Control of Asbestos At Work Regulations 2002 and to enable compliance to this policy all of our operatives have received training and awareness of asbestos, its likely effects and the likely locations within housing stock.

All Oxford City Homes operatives have received an issue of the Health and Safety Executive publication 'Asbestos Essentials' giving methods of work and the necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) requirements. They all receive training in 'Asbestos Awareness' and appropriate trades are trained in the safe removal of unlicensed asbestos.
