Anthony Camus, a director of Getex Pty Ltd , has been working with a key NSW Government Department to help develop a better specification for Hazardous Materials Surveys to be performed for the Department. The Occupational Health and Safety Regulation 2001 requires that there be an Asbestos Register for each workplace. “Our Client was finding that different consultants produced reports of very different quality. Some were comprehensive while others were quite brief,” Camus said. The system of choosing the lowest quote can tend to favour those who produce a less detailed report. “From the Client’s viewpoint this can be false economy,” Camus added.
“A lot of thinking has been put in about the specification being produced. I believe that by working closely with the client a long term gain in efficiency will pay off handsomely. It is a credit to the Department and its key personnel in this project that this work is being done so carefully.”
