We are pleased to announce that on the 21st of September, Senior Account Manager Chris Parr will present at the IOSH Tyne & Wear Branch 'Current Trends in Asbestos and Legionella Management' in-person event at the Nissan Sports & Leisure Complex, Sunderland.

Exploring the intersection of fiscal austerity and diminishing industry quality, Chris will unveil potential connections between financial constraints and the erosion of industry standards.

While considerable headway has been achieved, a worrisome sense of contentment has taken hold when it comes to managing asbestos, giving rise to concerns over diminishing compliance standards and service excellence.

Through personal narratives, Chris will challenge the prevailing "status quo" mindset, urging a re-evaluation of entrenched practices in light of emerging regulations and innovative technology. He stresses the imperative of persistent growth and renewal in asbestos management techniques, underscoring the significance of quality service delivery, education, and knowledge enrichment.

Concluding with recommendations for the industry's forward trajectory, including rekindling a commitment to quality, reminding clients of their responsibilities, and reimagining training methodologies. By learning from history and embracing innovation, the asbestos industry can ensure a safer future by maintaining a proactive stance against complacency.

Join us for an insightful face-to-face event that challenges prevailing attitudes, highlights the impact of complacency, and presents a roadmap for revitalising vigilance and quality within the asbestos industry. 

This event is open to all (no IOSH membership required). Spaces are filling up fast – secure your spot now: Register My Place
