Planning Committee –25 th February 2009 4.4 site, ensuring due care and attention is given to the surrounding physical environment. Scott Wilson Ltd are also reviewing environmental monitoring records. The current inspection regime involves Scott Wilson Ltd undertaking random inspections at irregular intervals. These visits can be announced or unannounced. The current inspection regime is approximately one visit per week. Scott Wilson Ltd considers that this frequency of inspection is sufficient during the current works, and reflects the low level of activity at the site. Current dismantling activities are limited to the stripping of asbestos containing materials, and their on-ship temporary storage. Able UK currently contract an independent asbestos specialist, Franks Portlock Consulting Limited. Franks Portlock is UKAS accredited for Asbestos Inspection and Asbestos Testing and have commenced thorough testing of the infrastructure and make-up of each MARAD ship berthed at the TEERC Facility, and air monitoring around the site. Following test results, a report is provided to Able UK detailing the location and type of asbestos contained within each compartment of the ship. The asbestos removal process is then commenced under the supervision of Franks Portlock using method statements and approved working practices, which are subject to inspection by the Health and Safety Executive. The information and reports provided by Franks Portlock is reviewed by Scott Wilson as part of their Inspector Role to ensure it is accurate, and adheres to agreed working practices. Both Scott Wilson and Franks Portlock aim to integrate monitoring and reporting to ensure due care is given to the surrounding physical environment. Both the Health and Safety Executive and Environment Agency also visit the site regularly, to ensure national guidelines are adhered to while dealing with asbestos and constructing required infrastructure. Scott Wilson Ltd intend to co-ordinate their next visit with the Health and Safety Executive to confirm details of the inspection regime with respect to their particular roles regarding asbestos. During recent visits Scott Wilson Ltd have inspected the internal stripping of, and subsequent management procedures for, asbestos contained within the ships infrastructure which is ongoing under the advice and close supervision of asbestos specialist, Franks Portlock. These visits have also entailed inspection of associated paperwork and written procedures. To date, Scott Wilson Ltd report that they have identified no significant concerns relating to the procedures, record keeping and activities associated with the asbestos removal and general site operations. Once dismantling activity increases at the site and external dismantling commences, the inspection scope will increase accordingly. Inspections will monitor reports of local water quality, storage, handling and removal of both recyclable materials and waste at the site, site drainage and storage of water, methods of deconstruction of each ship, noise and air emissions, integrity of the cofferdam and ensure overall that Able UK adhere to the 4.1 - Planning - 09.02.25 - 2 - RPS Able U K Lt d 3 HARTLEPOOL BOROUGH COUNCIL
Planning Committee –25 th February 2009 4.4 methods and working practices as outlined and in the approved planning application and Environmental Statement” 4. In addition to the above Able have advised of the other monitoring regimes in operation on the site. These include external audits under relevant quality assurance codes eg ISO’s, client monitoring, a number of other consultants in addition to Frank Portlock and Scott Wilson and monitoring by other regulators. With regard to the latter they have indicated the following. 1 Environment Agency (EA) inspections to ensure Waste Management Licence compliance. 2 Environment Agency (EA) inspections to ensure discharge consents compliance. 3 Environment Agency (EA) inspections to ensure Trans Frontier Shipment compliance. To fulfil the above the EA carry out inspections on a monthly frequency. The inspections are based on either a formulated plan, targeted auditing or routine visits (unannounced). The inspections may be undertaken in a short visit or more prolonged (1 or 2 days) if the inspection is a detailed targeted assessment. The inspections cover permitted activities, infrastructure, general management, emissions, records, maintenance and resources. 4 Health and Safety Executive (HSE) sample inspections for asbestos specific works and all work in general. 5 Health & Safety Executive (HSE) sample inspections for asbestos import exemption permits oversight. To fulfil the above the HSE undertake sample inspections. The frequency is for around 6 inspections per year, the timing of which depends on the phasing of the works being undertaken.
