The House of Commons Select Committee on Work and Pensions has published its report on the management of asbestos and has made the bold announcement that all asbestos should be removed from public and commercial buildings within the next 40 years.
Our friends at NORAC have blogged their own take on this announcement here: https://norac.org.uk/mps-have-called-for-all-asbestos-to-be-removed-from-public-and-commercial-buildings-within-the-next-40-years/
We are working with UKNAR and others to find innovative ways within Alpha Tracker and other asbestos software to achieve this bold goal and will be making further announcements shortly.
