New HSE Publication: Managing asbestos in buildings

INDG223 - Managing asbestos in buildingsINDG223 has now been published. This is a revised leaflet for the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. It combines two leaflets: A short guide to managing asbestos in premises and Manage buildings? You must manage asbestos.

The leaflet is for people who own, manage or have responsibilities for buildings, which may contain asbestos. This includes all non-domestic buildings, whatever the type of business, and the common areas of domestic buildings, eg halls, stairwells, lift shafts, roof spaces. The guidance does not apply to other domestic properties.

A free download is available, or packs of 5 physical copies can be purchased for £5. See Managing asbestos in buildings: A brief guide for full details.
