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 Customer 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 a large complex of residential flats.
-Works had to be carried out under fully controlled conditions requiring the erection of polythene enclosures which
were taken under negative pressure to prevent the release of asbestos fibres.
[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].
-Amiante STR Ltd were commissioned to undertake the work as the customer was in the process of renovating the
flat he had just purchased.
-An asbestos survey was carried out before any Refurbishment planning started.
-Once the pipework was identified, the customer employed Amiante STR Ltd to remove the asbestos within the flat
to reduce any delays to future projects and to ensure there was no further problems or risk to the other contractors
who were due to be working within the flat.
[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 that the property was located
within a building which contained residential flats above and below where our works were being undertaken.
