New Asbestos Regulations - Act Now!
The Control of Asbestos at Work Regulations 2002 places new duties on owners, employers and agencies to manage the risk from asbestos in their workplace buildings, including carrying out a risk assessment and implementation of a plan to manage asbestos risk.
To meet your legal requirements it is necessary to:
- Find materials likely to contain asbestos and check their condition
 Make a written record of the location and the condition- Carry out a risk assessment
- Prepare and implement a plan to manage the asbestos risk
Few companies have either the knowledge or the desire to carry out these onerous tasks.
Virtually anyone can be at risk from Asbestos
Teachers, pupils, nurses, patients, doctors, factory workers, office staff (this list goes on) - virtually anyone can be at risk from asbestos. In fact the majority of mesothelioma cases now diagnosed are people assumed to have had accidental exposure to asbestos in the workplace.
