Managed correctly Asbestos Containing Materials provide no health risk. However, if not managed correctly there is a risk that people could be exposed to asbestos fibres which can lead to diseases such as mesothelioma developing in later life. This article aims to help you discover if you are managing asbestos correctly and also where you can get professional asbestos surveys carried out.
The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 means that anyone who owns or occupies a non-domestic property could have an asbestos management survey conducted and implement a plan to protect people from exposure to asbestos fibres. This could be you if you’re responsible for the maintenance of a building such as business premises, hospitals, warehouses, offices or schools.
Any materials suspected of containing asbestos must be assumed as hazardous until proper testing can confirm otherwise. Asbestos can be found in many different forms including roofing, insulation, ceiling tiles, water tanks, sewage pipes, toilet cisterns, roof tiles, doors and many other products.
Although having an asbestos survey carried conducted isn’t always a legal requirement, a Dutyholder does have a legal obligation to ensure that they are managing asbestos correctly.
