Asbestos removal company fined - and employees jailed - for failing to protect their workers from risk

This is such a disappointing story in 2022.  An asbestos removal/surveying consultancy - Ensure Asbestos Management Ltd - has been fined, and two employees jailed, for breaches of Health & Safety legislation which put their workers at unnecessary risk.

The Ensure Asbestos Management story can be read on the UKATA website (and elsewhere) 

Our friends at UKATA have published the story here: https://www.ukata.org.uk/news/asbestos-removal-company-fined-failing-protect-workers-risk/

We've listened to you - no more form timers!

Image
Alpha Legal users and their clients have never liked the timers that encouraged forms to be completed in a set amount of time.  We extended them from 60 minutes to 2 hours in the last update, but that still was inconvenient for many users.  We've listened to you and scrapped the timers completely!    This change will make the whole process of uploading ID documents easier and less stressful for your clients (and, don't worry, just as secure as before). Dan and the Alpha Legal team are listening! If you have any more ideas to improve Alpha Legal, get in touch .  We love to hear from you.
