Background
Asbestos in soil remains a problem in many sites across the UK. In recent years more research has been carried out resulting in newer guidance publications, however confusion remains regarding the application of good practice when assessing and managing asbestos risk in contaminated land projects. This affects local authorities who are the primary regulators for contaminated land projects.

During the webinar, our speakers will explore some of the challenges stemming from asbestos in soil, such as difficulties reviewing results from asbestos risk analysis, whilst demonstrating how local authorities currently apply existing guidance. They will identify areas where more research and clarity is needed.

• Discuss the main regulatory and guidance issues surrounding asbestos sites
• Discover how local authorities currently assess and manage sites with asbestos
• Learn how existing asbestos guidance should be applied
• Identify areas where further guidance and research is required for local authorities
