Asbestos Management

 

The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006 place a duty on building owners [duty holders] to manage asbestos in all non-domestic premises.

 

Broadly these regulations place a duty on employers to ensure a suitable and sufficient assessment is carried out to identify if asbestos is present and if it is to ensure that:
 

• Any works that could disturb the asbestos are managed.
• Suitable and suffucient information, instruction and training (Reg 10) is provided to all employees who may be exposed
• Prevent exposure of his employees to asbestos so far as is reasonably practicable
