What does the Duty Holder have to do to comply with the new legislation?
The new duty to manage requires the duty holder to take reasonable steps to find asbestos in the premises and assess the condition of these materials. The duty holder must: • presume that materials do contain asbestos unless there is strong evidence that they do not; • prepare a record of the location and condition of these materials and assess the risk from them; • prepare and implement a plan to manage those risks; and • provide information on the location and condition of the material to anyone who is liable to disturb it.
