One Day Duty to Manage Asbestos in Non-Domestic Premises

Who Should Attend: A Duty holder is any person with responsibility for maintaining and repairing all or part of a property, or who has control of a building.

If this applies to you then you should now be complying with Regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006.

What is Regulation 4?

The Regulation 4 places a legal requirement on “Duty Holders” of non-domestic premises assess whether there is any asbestos in their premises, and, depending on its condition, either remove it or manage it. They must also ensure that maintenance or other activities carried out subsequently do not expose the workers to any avoidable risk. They must ensure that information on the location and condition of the asbestos is clearly identified, prioritized, recorded and periodically monitored.
