Overview

Are you a union rep who wants to understand what Raac is and the risks associated with it? Do you want to know how to identify, inspect and manage this potentially dangerous material? If yes, join us for a webinar on Raac.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has warned that Raac is now beyond its lifespan and may collapse with little or no notice. The Department for Education (DfE) has ordered schools to immediately shut buildings made with Raac until safety work is undertaken. There have been several incidents of roof collapses involving Raac in schools and other public buildings in recent years.

In this webinar, you will learn:

  • what Raac is and how to recognise it
  • what the main hazards and risks associated with Raac are
  • how to report any defects or concerns
  • how to ensure the safety of your members in buildings with Raac.

The webinar will last for one hour and will include a Q&A session with union health and safety specialists.
