| Abstract |
This guidance is for people who own, manage or have responsibilities for non-domestic premises which may contain asbestos. They will have either a legal duty to manage the risk from asbestos, or a duty to co-operate with whoever does. Anyone who has information on the whereabouts of asbestos will, under the duty of co-operation, be required to make this available to those responsible for managing these risks. This guidance will also be useful to people managing asbestos in domestic premises. It will help readers to identify, assess and manage any asbestos-containing materials on their premises. A good strategy for this will help prevent risks to workers or others who may use the premises. Contents: Who is this guidance for?; Why is asbestos dangerous?; Who is at risk?; Where is asbestos found in buildings?; What is new about the duty to manage asbestos?; How can you comply with the new duty?; How can you dispose of asbestos?; What should you tell your workers/contractors? What else does the law say? Safety representatives; Checklist; Other useful information. |
