Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Let us know where we can park
Avoid these
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
