Active asbestos management

Asbestos removal London :The Control of Asbestos at Work Regulations 2002 (CAW) has introduced an explicit duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises. This important legislation tackles the biggest occupational health killer in the UK – asbestos-related disease. Asbestos London: Of the 3,000 people currently dying each year from such diseases 25% have once worked in the building and maintenance trades and often would have worked unknowingly on or near to asbestos containing materials (ACMs). Active asbestos management

Asbestos removal London: Whilst virtually all other activities involving potential exposure to asbestos have now ceased e.g. the use of asbestos products, is now prohibited, our evidence suggests that this vulnerable group is still at considerable risk from accidental exposure to asbestos.

The duty to manage requires those in control of premises to:

take reasonable steps to determine the location and condition of materials likely to contain asbestos;

presume materials contain asbestos unless there is strong evidence that they do not;

make and keep an up to date record of the location and condition of the ACMs or presumed ACMs in the premises;

assess the risk of the likelihood of anyone being exposed to fibres from these materials;

prepare a plan setting out how the risks from the materials are to be managed;

take the necessary steps to put the plan into action;

review and monitor the plan periodically; and

provide information on the location and condition of the materials to anyone who is liable to work on or disturb them.
