This policy explains how Portsmouth Homes manages asbestos within its homes and buildings. It outlines how asbestos-containing materials are identified, monitored and managed to protect residents, staff and contractors and ensure legal compliance.
We take a risk-based approach to asbestos management. Where asbestos-containing materials are in good condition and unlikely to be disturbed, they may be safely monitored. Where necessary, we take action to repair, seal or remove materials to reduce risk.
Residents should contact us before carrying out home improvements or DIY work and report any suspected damaged asbestos immediately. For full details on asbestos management, inspections and resident responsibilities, read the full policy.
