The duty to manage asbestos is a legal requirement. Dutyholders must protect people from the risks of exposure to asbestos, including people who work in/on or visit their buildings.
This video from HSE explains the steps to the duty to manage asbestos in buildings.
HSE Asbestos: Your Duty Campaign launched Monday 15 January, aims to improve understanding of what the legal duty to manage asbestos involves.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) wants anyone with responsibilities for buildings to do everything they must do to comply with the law and prevent exposure to this dangerous substance, which was widely used in post-war construction before it was completely banned in 1999.
