A Short Guide to Managing Asbestos in Premises

This guidance is for people who own, manage or have responsibilities for non-domestic premises which may contain asbestos.

They will have either a legal duty to manage the risk from asbestos, or a duty to co-operate with whoever does.

Anyone who has information on the whereabouts of asbestos will, under the duty of co-operation, be required to make this available to those responsible for managing these risks.

This guidance may also be useful to people managing asbestos in domestic premises.

It should help readers to identify, assess and manage any asbestos-containing materials on their premises.

A good strategy for this will help prevent risks to workers or others who may use the premises.
