Your legal duty to manage asbestos

 

 

We care how you manage your asbestos

 

As an Asbestos removal specialist, West Coast Thermal has worked with a number of contractors who could not establish if asbestos is present in the premises in which they work, be it lack of an asbestos register or survey, or because the property is a domestic residence. If contractors are in doubt they will call for an asbestos survey to be carried out.

 

You have a legal duty of care to manage your asbestos

Legislation brought out in 2006 (Control of Asbestos Regulation 2006) means all non domestic property owners have a legal duty of care to manage asbestos. You are required to find out if there is asbestos, assess the risk, prepare a plan to manage it and then act upon it with regular reviews. You are also required to provide an information register to anyone who is likely to work on or disturb the asbestos.

Asbestos Surveys

Following recent changes, there are now only two types of survey - a Management Survey and a Refurbishment/demolition survey - you can learn more about these in the asbestos survey section.

 

Asbestos surveys act as a reference log for trades people who may come into contact with the substance during their work. They also monitor any risk or deterioration and will recommend remediation work or removal if required. In the long term this will help reduce the number of people who contract asbestos related diseases in their later years.
