Introduction
In the UK, managing asbestos within commercial and residential properties is not just prudent—it’s legally mandated.
Key Aspects of UK Asbestos Legislation
The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 outlines responsibilities for managing asbestos in non-domestic premises and the common areas of domestic buildings.
Responsibilities of Duty Holders
- Risk Assessment: Identify and assess the presence of asbestos.
- Record Keeping: Maintain an up-to-date record of the location and condition of asbestos or presumed asbestos materials.
