Joint Union Asbestos Committee

Link to the Joint Union Asbestos Committee (JUAC) is formed from the union members of the Asbestos in Schools Group (AiS). It works in conjunction with the AiS and supports its aim and objectives. It has launched a new Website www.juac.org.uk.

Founded in 2010, Joint Union Asbestos Committee protects education workers by raising awareness of asbestos in schools, seeking improved management of asbestos in education sector buildings and ultimately to seek the safe removal of the asbestos. JUAC comprises appointed representatives from the six major teaching unions (ASCL, , ATL , NASUWT, NAHT NUT, Voice) and the four major general industrial unions (UNISON, Unite the Union, UCATT and the GMB).

If you’re interested in finding out further information, please email Julie Winn (julie.winn@juac.org.uk). You can also follow the Committee on Facebook.

The site is also a campaigning site with a list of common sense measures the government, the HSE, LEAs and schools should adopt to make management effective.
