6. P E T E
People, Environment, Tools and Exposure
PETE represents a process encompassing Health & Safety, risk assessment and project management.
PETE assists in ensuring that all aspects of a project are managed safely.
Below are a few of the PETE considerations taken into account on this project.
[This PETE is where those planning a project ask about the impact of People, Environment, Tools and Exposure to the
project. Includes Client discussions, site surveying, estimating or consultancy].
-The works had to be notified to the Health & Safety Executive 14 days prior to start date. Risk assessment &
method statement had to be prepared.
-The waste transit route had to be taken into consideration as the property was in a block of flats.
-Works had to be carried out in fully controlled conditions with the use of polythene enclosures, negative pressure
units & airlocks.
[This PETE is all of the people involved above who must have asbestos awareness training to ensure they are legally
compliant for controlling the risks to People, Environment, Tools and Exposure].
-The insulation board was badly damaged and broken up with debris over the floor from where previous refurb
contractors had been in and carelessly knocked through it without consideration of the potential risks.
-Contractors should all be aware of the risk of asbestos & where asbestos is found to avoid situations like this
occurring.
-This is why asbestos awareness training is crucial for Contractors who are likely to work around asbestos.
[This PETE represents the safe removal of asbestos materials in compliance with current legislation and is also our reminder
to assess all of the risks to our own staff of People, Environment, Tools and Exposure and not just the asbestos risk].
-Working within occupied premises, our operatives had to take into consideration the property was located around
other occupied flats in which other residents were living in both above and below the flat we were working in.
