The presence of asbestos should not be the sole concern of the person working in a property. It is the legal requirement of the 'duty holder' (typically the building owner or property maintenance company) to carry out the appropriate checks on a regular basis.
Any damaged areas containing asbestos should not be touched until an asbestos survey and risk assessment is carried out. Any damaged asbestos should be sealed, enclosed or removed to prevent harmful fibres from circulating into the air.
Those most at risk and who should take extra care are commonly tradesmen or maintenance workers who can more easily damage the asbestos fibres during the course of their work.
The requirement for an asbestos risk register applies to commercial and industrial properties. It is a key component to helping you manage your asbestos and it requires updating at least once a year. This register contains;
1. Dates of regular inspections of the condition of the asbestos in the property
2. Any changes resulting in the removal of asbestos
3. Any new asbestos surveys undertaken and the locations of identified asbestos
4. A record of any deterioration of the asbestos that is present
This is a very important document to have to hand when any maintenance is taking place on the property and, whilst being a legal requirement, ensures the occupants of the property and people working on the building itself are kept safe.
The duty to manage is a legal requirement under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (Regulation 4). It concerns the owners of commercial properties or those who have the responsibility for the maintenance of a commercial property.
Whilst this also applies to the shared parts of some domestic properties, it does not apply directly to entire residential properties and their occupants (home owners or tenants).
