A new ALFA system is being developed for member contractors (LARCs) to use as part of their internal TNA process for their employed operatives.

The current Asbestos Labour Feedback App (ALFA), for Member LARCs to rate the performance and behaviour of agency operatives onsite, is working well and the feedback from contractors is very encouraging. In fact, some member contractors are now using the same rating categories for their internal Training Needs Analysis (TNA) process.

Due to this feedback a new system, ALFA LARC Employees, is being developed to enable a contractor to request a rating of an operative from a site supervisor, with the flexibility of choosing different types of asbestos removal work and teams for an operative.

This new ALFA LARC Employees system is to support member asbestos removal contractors in the management and fulfilment of their internal TNA programme, and certificate management, if they choose to register to use it.

A few member LARCs have been set up to use the system, as the project moves into the pilot phase.
