Asbestos, gas and electrical safety

Asbestos

• Asbestos management
• Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
• The Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974

We need contractors to make sure that all of their operatives have received the necessary asbestos awareness training consistent with section 10 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006. Contractors may have to produce evidence of such training when attending any of our properties.

Asbestos information:

• Access to information on asbestos items in Highland Council properties is available to contractors and consultants working on behalf of Highland Council via an online portal.
• To request access to the portal, email property.systems.support@highland.gov.uk with your company name, and a list of employee names, employee email addresses, contact numbers of employees within your organisation who require access.
• These employees will then receive an email with their login details, which also includes instructions on how to access the asbestos information.

Please contact property.systems.support@highland.gov.uk if you need support using the portal.
