Scores between 0-20 = 20% chance of audit and management visit.
Scores between 21-35 = 40% chance of audit and management visit.
Scores between 36-50 = 70% chance of audit and management visit.
Scores between 51-100 = 100% chance of audit and management visit.
Works continuing for over 7 working days will have a 50% chance of audit and management visit.
Works continuing for over 14 working days will have a 100% chance of audit and management visit.
The site supervisor is responsible for conducting the site complying with current asbestos rules and regulations, he is responsible for maintaining health and safety standards and producing a site diary and record maintenance records for plant and equipment.

Cleaning of existing supports
Existing supports will be cleaned using H Type vacuum cleaners to shadow vac wire brushing of supports following the application of wetting agent. The holes left from the fixings will be cleaned using a hand held bradawl whilst shadow vacuuming. The supports will then be wiped clean using anti static rags, the supports will be dried thoroughly before the analyst is invited in. Supports must be shown to the analyst for inclusion into the 2nd stage of the 4 stage clearance.
Final clearance
When all waste material has been removed and double bagged from the enclosure the enclosure will be subject to a fine clean, all surfaces and ledges will be vacuumed clean using a H Type vac to remove dust and debris, the operatives will wipe clean all surfaces and ledges including the enclosure walls and floors, the final clean will be a vacuum of the floor on the way out of the enclosure. Once the supervisor has carried out a visual inspection of the works and is happy with the cleanliness the appointed analyst will be invited in to carry out the 2nd stage of the 4 stage clearance test. Once the enclosure has been cleared by the analyst the enclosure material will be removed in its entirety before leaving site. The analyst will then be invited to carry out out stage 4 of the 4 stage clearance. Once the analytical documentation has been received the Cablesheer team will leave the site clean and tidy. All Documentation relating the the works will be handed back to the office in the Box provided.
