Responsibilities for owners
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If your business premises in Shoreham were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Afterwards
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
After we’ve finished:
- File the consignment note
- Book the replacement before removal
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Share any survey or test results
Don’ts
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
