520 _aAsbestos can still be found in 4.4m buildings and continues to pose serious health risks. Article highlights the common parts of a building where asbestos resides and discusses revisions to the Control of Asbestos at Work Regulations 1987 which introduce a legal duty to manage asbestos. To comply with the new regulations, building owners and operators should take several steps from conducting a survey to identify asbestos to creating a plan to manage, control and monitor the risk. Advises organisations to take a proactive approach and prepare over the next two years for the introduction of the amended regulations.
