Asbestos Lagging
Asbestos Lagging
If you own, occupy, manage or have responsibilities for non-domestic premises which may contain asbestos, you will either have:

A legal duty to manage the risk from this material; Or

A duty to cooperate with whoever manages that risk

The Regulations will apply to you if you have maintenance and repair responsibilities for non-domestic premises either through a contract or tenancy agreement or because you own the premises. The duty will require you to manage the risk from asbestos by:

Finding out if there is asbestos in the premises, its amount and what condition it is in;

Presuming materials contain asbestos, unless you have strong evidence they do not;

Making and keeping up to date a record of the location and condition of the Asbestos Containing Materials or presumed ACMs in your premises;

Assessing the risk from the material;

Preparing a plan that sets out in detail how you are going to manage the risk from this material;

Taking the steps needed to put your plan into action

Reviewing and monitoring your plan and the arrangements made to put it in place; and

Providing the information on the location and condition of the material to anyone who is liable to work on or disturb it.
