PETE represents a process encompassing Health & Safety, risk assessment and project management. PETE assists in ensuring that all aspects of a project are managed safely.Below are a few of the PETE considerations taken into account on this project.
[This PETE is where those planning a project ask about the impact of People, Environment, Tools and Exposure to the project. Includes Client discussions, site surveying, estimating or consultancy].
With a refurbishment and demolition survey we ask the client to complete a form outlining the scope of works. The questions
on this form allow us to plan ahead for the survey and let us know whether the building is occupied and what works the client
has planned.
[This PETE is all of the people involved above who must have asbestos awareness training to ensure they are legally compliant for controlling the risks to People, Environment, Tools and Exposure].
All builders and contractors must be made aware of any potential asbestos present within the fabric of the building so that
the correct approach to the project with safety and compliance considerations for personnel undertaken.
[This PETE represents the safe removal of asbestos materials in compliance with current legislation and is also our reminder to assess all of the risks to our own staff of People, Environment, Tools and Exposure and not just the asbestos risk].
Our surveyor carried out work at height during this survey to sample and inspect some suspect material to external areas of
the property. However due to risk assessment and appropriate planning, the surveyor came prepared with all the necessary
equipment to allow him to do so safely.
