Asbestos Management Plans define the procedures for identifying, managing, and controlling asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in a building or facility. It is a legal obligation to have one. The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 requires dutyholders to prepare and implement a plan to manage any ACMs in their premises. We offer advice and consultancy to help our clients full their
legal duties.
The duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises lies with those who are accountable for the safety of the people using the building. This is the person or organisation clearly in charge of maintenance and repairs. Non-domestic premises include industrial, commercial and public buildings such as factories, warehouses, offices, shops, hospitals and schools.
We advise you on your legal duties and prepare and maintain an asbestos management plan which enables you to fulfil those duties. The plan includes the following elements:
The Asbestos Register records the location, type, quantity, and condition of all ACMs in the premises. It is created and maintained by asbestos surveys.
We can help you to understand your legal obligations, and to find the most effective way of meeting them. If you already have a Management Plan in place we can help you ensure it is fit for purpose. As well as helping you write or update your Management Plan we can help you with all aspects of asbestos management, including surveys, training, consultancy and project management.
We work with a wide range of non-domestic premises, including:
Our online asbestos management system is used to record, track and maintain data about your properties. It can store all of your historical asset management data incorporating your asbestos register.
Asbestos was used extensively in buildings in the UK prior to its ban in 1999. If your premises were built before then there is a possibility it will contain asbestos, so please do get in touch.
