A natural evolution of CIRIA’s series of publications and activities to promote good practice for managing asbestos from soil, CIRIA are seeking to produce the first UK interactive aide/tool in smart phones or tablets for ground workers and other site workers who are ‘on the front line’ dealing with asbestos containing soils on site. This project is now underway and is expected to be available at the beginning of next year. CIRIA are currently searching for a Mobile App Developer to help design and build the appplication and details can be found on their website at http://www.ciria.org/About/vacancies/Mobile_App_Developer.aspx. As with all CIRIA projects the content of the APP will be driven by input from the Project Steering Group. If you want to know more or get involved then go to http://www.ciria.org/Research/Projects_underway2/Asbestos_from_soil_site_management_aide.aspx where contact details for Joanne Kwan, CIRIA’s Project Manager, can be found.
