Asbestos Regulations
In November 2002 the Health and Safety Executive introduced the Control of Asbestos at Work Regulations 2002. Regulation 4 came into effect 21st May 2004 and imposes a duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises.
The duty to manage requires the duty holder to:
- Take reasonable steps to find asbestos in the premises and asses the condition of these materials.
- Presume that materials contain asbestos unless there is strong evidence that they do not.
- Prepare a record of the location and condition of these materials and assess the risk from them.
- Prepare and implement a plan to manage those risks.
- Provide information on the location and condition of the material to anyone who is liable to disturb it.
