Hello list
This is a question from the Records Manager (Ellen Taylor
[log in to unmask]) here at East Sussex C.C.; I'm posting on
her behalf. Her listserv has gone temporarily wonky.
The question being how long to keep records of Fire & Rescue personal
claims; asbestos related.
Asbestos related records have to be kept for 40 years but this is because
it could take up to this length of time for the disease to develop/symptoms
to show so my assumption would be that claims wouldn't have to be kept this
long because the disease has already developed and it is things such as
protective clothing log books etc that need to be kept for 40 years. I
could be wrong though.
Thanks for any help on this from the list members.
