It is with deep regret that the British Occupational Hygiene Society [BOHS] announces the closure of the Asbestos Building Inspectors Certification Scheme [ABICS].
Steve Perkins, Chief Executive of BOHS, states, “Despite the support of the Health and Safety Executive [HSE], the cooperation with UKAS, and the high level of initial interest from individual surveyors that ABICS has always generated, we have come to the conclusion – after eight years of significant and unsustainable investment – that a voluntary certification scheme is not viable in the extremely competitive environment of asbestos surveying.”
