CASE STUDY: Thomas Gainsborough School

John Rowan and Partners has been working with Thomas Gainsborough School, a secondary school and sixth form located in Suffolk, to review and update their asbestos management plan (AMP). The objective was to ensure compliance with regulations and improve the school’s ability to manage asbestos containing materials (ACMs) effectively.

Gainsborough School to rewrite their AMP.

The new AMP now provides Thomas Gainsborough School with a comprehensive and detailed document. This new plan sets out exactly how they intend to manage their asbestos, monitor their staff training requirements, and undertake asbestos contractor reviews.

As a result of the revised AMP, Thomas Gainsborough School has significantly improved its compliance with regulations concerning ACM management.

Asbestos training services

The Thomas Gainsborough School also took advantage of our ‘Asbestos Staff Training’ service where key staff and stakeholders undertook both UKATA asbestos awareness training (AAT) and BOHS P405 management of asbestos in buildings refresher training.

The collaborative efforts of John Rowan and Partners and Thomas Gainsborough School resulted in solving the shortcomings of the existing AMP and delivering an updated and comprehensive plan.

In turn, the school achieved a more compliant position in managing ACMs, promoting a safer environment for staff and students.

This project highlights the benefit of regular AMP reviews, proactive engagement with stakeholders, and the value of external expertise in achieving effective asbestos management.
