Further to the Minister's answer to Written Question WQ.165/2018 on 25th September 2018, will the Minister specify –

  1. how, if at all, members of staff working in States-owned buildings where asbestos is present are informed of the exact location of the asbestos within the building they are working in, for example teachers in schools who are not Jersey Property Holdings staff; and
  2. on how many occasions, if any, members of staff within these buildings have highlighted concerns relating to tampering with asbestos-containing materials?

Answer

  1. In the portfolio of States-owned buildings where Jersey Property Holdings manages identified asbestos, it supplies to the principal person(s) in the respective premises a copy of the Asbestos Management Plan detailing where the Asbestos is located.  
  2. There have been no incident reports recorded by Jersey Property Holdings of tampering with Asbestos containing materials. However, the various occupying departments record their own Health and Safety incidents and the Deputy may wish to contact other States departments regarding this.
