520			_aExamines the duty of property owners, occupiers and managers to identify and control asbestos-containing material buildings, with a duty to manage becoming part of health and safety legislation on 21 May 2004. Looks at the rising incidence of asbestosis-related diseases contracted during maintenance work and the recognition that all asbestos types are carcinogenic. Highlights the difficulty of identifying asbestos-containing material, especially where asbestos is combined with other material, and the appropriateness of an asbestos management plan rather than removal. Summarises who is a potential duty holder and the extent of the duty to manage. States that RICS is setting up a certification scheme with the Asbestos Removers Contractors Association to provide training for members wishing to become asbestos inspectors. Table covers a precautionary approach to maintenance.
