Identifying and managing the risks associated with asbestos
 Asbestos, the deadly legacy of 20th century construction, is estimated to be present in up to half a million commercial, industrial and public buildings.
All publicly accessed buildings by law must have an asbestos management plan. Failure to comply with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006 may result in premises closure, a fine of up to £20,000 and even a custodial sentence.
Recent awareness campaigns by the health and safety executive have placed the responsibility upon those in control of maintenance work carried out in publicly accessed buildings.
Asbestos containing materials (ACMs) must be located, assessed and regularly monitored and managed within an overall asbestos management plan. Information regarding all ACMs present within a building must be made available to all maintenance contractors employed on publicly accessed premises in order for them to be considered as part of their risk assessment. There is also a duty placed upon the contractor to ensure staff are provided with asbestos awareness training.
