Just another thing. Everyone out there with a super six roof will have to have some sort of management plan...
Commercial property owners need to take action on asbestos
Total Property - Issue 8 2017
On April 4th 2018, the Health and Safety at Work (Asbestos) Regulations 2016 come fully into effect, and owners of buildings where there is asbestos and tenants who manage or control a workplace where there is asbestos will need an asbestos management plan.
Currently, building owners or occupiers who manage or control a workplace must ensure that asbestos is identified in the workplace.
This requirement means that if a building owner or occupier knows, or reasonably ought to know, that there is a risk of exposure to respirable asbestos fibres, they must, so far as is reasonably practicable, identify all asbestos that poses a risk of exposure, as well as Asbestos Containing Material (ACM), which is any material containing more than one percent asbestos.
