Over the past 11 years, I’ve had countless conversations with contractors about how they manage their site paperwork and compliance. Some are drowning in paper. A few have cobbled together spreadsheets and smartphone photos. And some have tried other digital solutions that promised much, but ultimately couldn’t deliver.
That’s why I wanted to set out clearly what makes Assure360 different – and why nearly a quarter of the licensed asbestos removal industry now uses it.
Let me start with a number that I’m genuinely proud of: approaching 23% of licensed asbestos removal contractors (LARCs) in the UK now use Assure360. If you include contractors using the ARCA portal (which runs on our platform), that figure rises to nearly a third of the industry. That’s a level of success I could have only dreamed of when I first started building Assure360 from my auditor’s spreadsheets.
To date, our users have created over 78,000 projects and 115,000 work areas on the system. We’ve recorded nearly 1.4 million individual exposure records. These aren’t just impressive numbers – they represent a big industry-wide shift towards better compliance, better records, and better protection for workers.
Assure360 makes site paperwork simple. We know that supervisors typically save one to two hours every single day using the Paperless app. That’s a transformation on site, liberating your most experienced staff member to support the team, and better ensure safety and compliance on the job.
But we don’t stop there. The real power of Assure360 comes from what happens with all the information we gather. Instead of sitting in a filing cabinet waiting for the job to finish, it flows directly through to the back office, giving management genuine visibility of what’s happening on site – in real time, from anywhere. Better still, our powerful reports and functions can generate insight – into training, equipment; everything – while the job’s ongoing.
Think about what that means. Contracts managers can check on multiple jobs without spending half their week driving between sites. Directors can focus on winning new work instead of chasing paperwork. And when licence renewal comes around, everything is already there, organised and ready.
I’m especially proud of our approach to exposure management. The regulations around recording and managing asbestos exposure are complex, and getting it wrong can have serious consequences – for your licence, and more importantly for your workers’ health.
Assure360 delivers 100% compliance with HSE requirements for managing asbestos exposure. Our exposure strategy tools are unique in the industry, and they’re essentially admin-free. The system does the heavy lifting, so you can be confident you’re meeting your obligations without adding to anyone’s workload.
The support we offer is a huge part of our appeal, and why our software proves so effective in practice. To help you get the most from Assure360 we provide:
In this way, everyone using Assure360 and our apps is supported to get the most from the system.
I understand that switching systems is a big decision. That’s why we offer a three-month free pilot with no obligation. You can see for yourself how our system and apps work on your jobs, with your team, before you commit to anything. And if you do decide Assure360 is right for you, there’s currently a 10% discount available.
But more than the commercial terms, what I’d really encourage you to do is talk to others in the industry who use it. Ask them about their HSE visits. Ask them how much time they’ve saved. And ask them whether they’d ever go back to paper.
I’m confident in what they’ll tell you.
If you’d like to discuss how Assure360 could work for your business, or if you’d like to arrange a pilot, please get in touch.
