On 13 July 2026, representatives from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) visited York Glaziers Trust as part of their ongoing review of responses to the consultation on proposed changes to workplace lead exposure limits under the Control of Lead at Work Regulations (CLAW 2002).
Two draft international standards are currently open for public consultation, providing an opportunity for conservation professionals to help shape their development.
Icon has written to Heritage Minister Baroness Twycross and MPs highlighting concerns over proposed lead exposure limits and their impact on heritage conservation.
Icon is announcing a £178,220 grant from The National Lottery Heritage Fund to foster greater public engagement with conservation, connect communities with their shared cultural heritage, and build a sustainable future for the profession.
