Guide to asbestos regulations

Issue date

15 Dec 2006

The TUC and HSE have produced a brief guide for safety representatives on asbestos and the new Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006. The online resource, which does not cover the legal functions of safety representatives, gives basic answers to the following questions: What is asbestos; why is it dangerous; where do you find asbestos; who is likely to be exposed to asbestos fibres; what's new in the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006; what is a licence; what do the Regulations say and what should I do; what should I do if I suspect asbestos materials are present; and how do I find out more? You can start by reading this guide.
