Asbestos compliance is a vital part of keeping everyone safe from the dangers of this hazardous substance found in many building materials. If a business or landlord fails to meet the necessary legal requirements, they could be risking the health of anyone in the property while facing hefty fines and serious legal action.
At Goodbye Asbestos, we provide comprehensive help, advice and asbestos compliance surveys, ensuring you meet the latest safety standards. Whether you have recently taken over a commercial premises or you want a better asbestos management plan at your existing building, we can assist.
What is asbestos compliance?
Asbestos compliance covers the rules, laws and regulations published to help organisations and property owners safely manage the risks of asbestos. Once widely used in building materials, asbestos was banned in 1999, but it still remains in many properties constructed before this time.
Complying with asbestos regulations involves the correct identification of potential asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), performing risk assessments and implementing control measures to prevent exposure to all who occupy or visit the site. However, documentation and record keeping are key to proving your compliance and ensuring information is easily available to anyone who needs it.
Who needs to comply with asbestos regulations?

Asbestos regulations apply to multiple individuals and organisations, including commercial property owners, duty holders, landlords, employers, business owners, construction and demolition contractors, and facilities management teams.
Anyone responsible for the safety of tenants or building occupants will need to follow the requirements set out in the latest asbestos legislation. This will involve the ongoing management and up-to-date monitoring of asbestos present at your site.
What are the latest safety guidelines and legislation for asbestos?
The latest legislation includes The Control of Asbestos Regulations (2012). These regulations cover the duty to manage commercial asbestos, asbestos identification, risk assessments, plans of work, licensing, asbestos notifications, exposure prevention, information and training, the use of control measures, air monitoring, analysis standards and much more.
Non-compliance with UK asbestos laws can have significant financial and legal consequences, including the risk of fines and prosecution. You’ll need to consider everything from asbestos surveys and risks assessments to management plans and employee training.
