The duty to manage asbestos is part of the Control of Asbestos Regulations. It requires the person who has the duty (the ‘dutyholder’) to: assess if there are asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) present, the amount, where they are and their condition.

Find out where the asbestos is (you’ll probably need an external accredited surveyor to carry out an asbestos survey).

Have the material analysed and keep a record of what you find.

Carry out a health and safety risk assessment.

Share the information with anyone likely to come into contact with the area, such as builders.

Keep anything containing asbestos in good repair or have it sealed or removed.
