Know your legal duties when it comes to asbestos
If you own or manage a commercial building in the UK, it’s your legal responsibility to ensure an effective asbestos management plan is in place. Some domestic buildings, such as rental properties, also need an asbestos management plan.
You should be aware of the high-risk areas where asbestos is likely to be disturbed or damaged in order to prevent the harmful effects caused by its contamination. Once the areas are identified, we will help you manage the areas by implementing strategies to keep them safe.
What does an asbestos management plan contain?
Your asbestos management plan will be tailored to your building and will include:
-
Details of which materials in the building contain asbestos, their condition and their location.
-
Plans for how and when the condition of the asbestos will be monitored.
-
Details on how to manage the risks posed by asbestos containing materials.
-
How to communicate with people in the building about the presence and risks of asbestos.
-
Contingency plans in case of an incident involving asbestos
We recommend reviewing your asbestos management plan annually to ensure it is still fit for purpose and ensure you meet the legal requirements.
