Every site has a legal duty to manage asbestos if the material is present. a duty holder is the person or organisation that is responsible for on-site asbestos management. they are responsible for meeting regulations under asbestos law in their premises.
In many cases, the duty holder will be made clear an explicit agreement such as a tenancy agreement or contract. The extent of the duty will depend on the nature of that agreement.
In a building occupied by one leaseholder, the agreement might be for either the owner or leaseholder to take on the full duty for the whole building; or they might share the duty. In a multi-occupied building, the agreement might be that the owner takes on the full duty for the whole building.
Or, it might be that the duty is shared. For example, the owner takes responsibility for the common parts while the leaseholders take responsibility for the parts they occupy. Sometimes, there might even be an agreement to pass the responsibilities to a managing agent.
In some cases, there may be no tenancy agreement or contract. If one is in place, it also may not specify who has responsibility for the maintenance or repair of the non-domestic parts of the building. In these cases, or where the premises are unoccupied, the duty is placed on whoever has control of all, or part of, the premises. Often, this will be the owner.
It is the responsibility of the duty holder to ensure that any asbestos on the premises is well managed and doesn’t present a threat. remember, asbestos is only dangerous if it is damaged and the fibres are released into the atmosphere. the duty holder must ensure asbestos risk stays low. to comply with your duty to manage asbestos, the duty holder should:
The first step is to thoroughly identify asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) within the building. This involves conducting a comprehensive survey to locate and record any materials that may contain asbestos. Proper identification is crucial to ensure that any potential risks are highlighted for further action. Accurate identification forms the foundation for effective asbestos management.
Once ACMs are identified, the next step is to assess the risks posed by these materials. This involves evaluating the condition, location, and potential for disturbance of the asbestos-containing materials. The risk assessment helps prioritise areas that require immediate attention/action and guides the creation of an appropriate management plan based on the severity of the risk.
The final step is to develop and implement an asbestos management plan. This plan should include measures for controlling exposure, safe handling, and regular inspections of the materials. It ensures ongoing management, helping to reduce risks and maintain compliance with health and safety regulations. Regular reviews of the plan are necessary to address any changes or new risks over time.
