Legislation
From the 21st May 2004 the Control of Asbestos at Work Regulations 2002 (CAW Regs) will come into force to ensure 'Duty Holders' effectively manage asbestos within their buildings. A 'Duty Holder' is anyone who has a responsibility for a building (a Director, Manager or Handyman). Failure to comply could result in investigation and possible prosecution by the Health & Safety Executive with the risk of substantial fines for businesses or individuals and potentially imprisonment for up to two years. This can be avoided by having an Asbestos Register compiled and effective management protocols in place.
