Buildings that have been left derelict for long periods of time may still meet the statutory criteria for listing. Delisting just in circumstances where a building has been left to disrepair would not be appropriate.</p><p>Local Authorities have powers to take action where a designated heritage asset has deteriorated to the extent that its preservation may be at risk. This includes undertaking urgent works and recovering those costs, as well as compulsory acquisition, including provisions for minimum compensation where an owner has deliberately allowed a building to fall into disrepair in order to justify its demolition and secure permission for redevelopment of the site. Listed buildings represent some of our most significant heritage assets and should not be neglected by owners.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Mid Worcestershire answering member printed Nigel Huddleston question first answered 05/04/2022 12:01:35 answering member 4407 label Biography information for Nigel Huddleston

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/06/2021 answer text <p>COVID-19 risk assessments fall under the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) remit. As each workplace is different, it is for an employer to identify, as part of their risk assessment, how to control COVID-19 transmission. Guidance has been produced by HSE that gives advice and information to employers on how to do such an assessment and manage the risk from COVID-19 in a proportionate manner. <a href="https://www.hse.gov.uk/coronavirus/working-safely/risk-assessment.htm" target="_blank">Risk assessment - Working safely during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic (hse.gov.uk)</a></p><p>Frequent surface cleaning is one of several control measures that can be implemented to manage the transmission risk. Fog, mist, vapour or UV (ultraviolet) treatments may be suitable options to help control the spread of coronavirus and disinfecting a larger space or room when people are not present. Any use of these treatments for these purposes should form part of your <a href="https://www.hse.gov.uk/coronavirus/working-safely/risk-assessment.htm" target="_blank">COVID-19 risk assessment</a>. Users must be <a href="https://www.hse.gov.uk/coshh/industry/fumigation.htm" target="_blank">competent and properly trained</a>. HSE provides guidance on its website as to when using these systems may be appropriate. Airborne disinfection does not remove the need for surface cleaning and surfaces that are dirty can reduce the effectiveness of disinfectant applied by airborne dispersion.</p><p>HSE and public health bodies in England, Wales and Scotland have agreed joint advice for dutyholders considering using walk-through spraying or misting disinfecting systems to reduce transmission of coronavirus (COVID-19). Spraying people with disinfectants in this way is not recommended under any circumstances (including in a tunnel, cabinet, or chamber).
