HSG191: Emergency planning for major accidents: Control of Major Accident Hazards Regulations 1999 (COMAH) don't remove asbestos unnecessarily - removing it can be more dangerous than leaving it in place and managing it HSG209: Aircraft turnaround: A guide for airport and aerodrome operators, airlines and service providers on achieving control, co-operation and co-ordination
MS31 - Guidance for appointed doctors on the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 - Medical surveillance for workers carrying out licensed work with asbestos if you are unsure about whether certain materials contain asbestos, you should presume they do and treat them as such Refreshing information, instruction and training for licensable and non-licensable work including Notifiable Non-licensed Work (NNLW) An asbestos survey is an effective way to help you manage asbestos in your premises by providing accurate information about the location, amount and type of any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). The person responsible for maintenance of non -domestic premises must either arrange a survey if it is suspected there could be ACMs in your premises or, the duty-holder may instead choose to presume the worst case of widespread asbestos in the premises and would then need to take all appropriate full stringent precautions for any work that takes place. However, it is often less troublesome and more proportionate to have an asbestos survey carried out so it is absolutely clear whether asbestos is present or not and what its condition is. You need to find out if you are responsible for maintenance and are the duty holder for the asbestos.

The explanation as to how polyethylene fibres can be distinguished from chrysotile by analysts using PLM has been changed at paragraph A2.61. A record of the information, instruction and training received by each individual should be kept to: Under a tenancy agreement or contract, tenants (including employers or occupiers) are responsible for alterations, repairs and maintenance. entry into the roof space above an AIB tiled ceiling, when no decontamination or cleaning has taken place
support individual workers in demonstrating their knowledge, skills and experience when they move from one employer to another Workers who plan to carry out work that will disturb asbestos require a higher level of information, instruction and training, in addition to asbestos awareness. This should take account of whether the work is non-licensed; notifiable non-licensed work (NNLW); or licensed work and should be job specific. Non-licensable work, including Notifiable Non-licensed Work (NNLW) People also may swallow small amounts of the fibres if the asbestos enters the soil or drinking water. Although asbestos does not dissolve, fibres may enter water after being eroded from natural sources, from asbestos-cement or from asbestos-containing filters.A21. Removing asbestos-containing bituminous products, such as roofing felt, gutter linings or damp-proof courses take account of other risks as well as asbestos, eg work at height, and take the precautions necessary to do the job safely The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 includes the duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises. The responsibility falls to the dutyholder. In many cases, this is the person or organisation that has clear responsibility for the maintenance or repair of non-domestic premises. Read more about the duty to manage asbestos. In public buildings, such as hospitals, schools and similar premises, the identity of the dutyholder will depend on how the responsibility for maintenance of the premises is allocated. For example, for most schools, the dutyholder will be the employer. Who the employer is varies with the type of school. For local authority managed schools, eg community schools and voluntary-controlled schools, the employer is the local authority. For voluntary-aided and foundation schools, it will be the school governors, and for academy and Free Schools, the academy trust will be the employer. For independent and fee-paying schools, it may be the proprietor, governors or trustees. Budgets for repair and maintenance of school buildings are sometimes delegated to schools by a local authority. In such cases, the duty to manage asbestos is shared between schools and the local authority. Tenancy arrangements and how responsibilities may be allocated or shared Responsibility for premises
