We believe our Asbestos SMART product will provide Local Authorities with a simple and cost effective means to help manage asbestos, giving dutyholders and Local Authority estates professionals better line of sight and reassurance that they are fulfilling their legal responsibilities and helping protect staff, contractors and the general public.
Asbestos SMART uses QR code technology to provide instant access to a building's asbestos register. Information regarding the type of asbestos and its locations can be downloaded in seconds using just a Smartphone, providing vital and potentially life-saving information to staff, visiting contractors and others that may be at risk of disturbing asbestos fibres.
Every UKNAR registered building enrolled into the Asbestos SMART system is issued with a unique QR code. This can be incorporated into a sign tailored to your organisation’s individual requirements, including your logo and contact details. The sign can be incorporated as an active part of your visitor / contractor sign-in process.
When the QR code is scanned using a smartphone or smart mobile device, the user downloads a copy of the asbestos register which allows them to locate any previously identified asbestos containing materials (ACMs). Users can then understand whether it is safe to proceed with their visit and their work without disturbing ACMs. The whole process can be completed on site in seconds.
The QR code can be presented as a URL link that is easily incorporated into emails, work orders and instructions to maintenance staff and contractors before they arrive on site - increasing the likelihood of them being better prepared to work safely.
An auditable trail of usage – real time monitoring and reporting on the date, time, IP address, name, and organisation of users accessing the asbestos register and other vital documents helps prove you are meeting your statutory asbestos responsibilities.
We believe that Asbestos SMART is the most efficient way of getting the necessary and potentially lifesaving information physically into the hands of the right people on site at the time when they actually need it. Asbestos SMART has been widely acclaimed - even by some visiting HSE inspectors but don't just take our word for it, read what others have to say.
