The HSE Consultative Document , Amendments to the Control of Asbestos at Work Regulations 1987, states that property owners and managers must have all non-domestic properties surveyed for asbestos, re-enforcing the existing duty under the Management of Health and Safety at Work regulations 1992.
The new consultative document goes on to state that all information relating to the location and condition of asbestos materials must be made available to anybody who might need it or come into contact with it – more specifically those involved in trades that might disturb asbestos materials during the course of their work e.g. electricians, cablers, carpenters, maintenance technicians etc.
asbestosregister.com is the best, cheapest and most reliable way for property owners/managers to make asbestos information available to anybody that needs it.
