Health and Safety Law 2024 (October 2024)

The TUC is calling for a commitment to a 40-year deadline for removing asbestos from public buildings — starting with schools — as called for by the work and pensions select committee of MPs. It says a future Labour government should include asbestos removal as part of a large-scale green retrofit programme of all public buildings. And it is demanding publication of a national risk register, with public transparency about where hazardous building materials are located.
