Aim at reducing asbestos exposure by obliging duty holders (employers and others) to carry out a risk assessment and declaring the amount, type and safety of asbestos in non-domestic premises they own or occupy. Employers must prepare and implement a management plan to control asbestos risks. The new regulations consolidate earlier legislation and introduce new controls on the way asbestos is handled in the workplace. The duty is owed to anyone affected by work activity. Non-domestic buildings owners contemplating refurbishment or demolition must conduct an asbestos survey.
