Risk assessment: asbestos

You must ensure that any part of the premises that is reasonably accessible is inspected for asbestos, and where the assessment shows asbestos is/is liable to be present in any part of the premises you must:

• Determine what the risk is from that asbestos
• Ensure a written plan is drawn up identifying those parts of the premises
• Ensure that control measures are included in the plan. The control measures must cover how the condition of any asbestos (or substance containing asbestos) will be monitored
• Ensure any asbestos is properly maintained or removed if necessary
• Ensure that info about the location and condition of any asbestos is provided to anyone liable to disturb it and made available to the emergency services
• Review the plan if there's reason to believe it's no longer valid or there's been a significant change in the premises it relates to
• Record the measures taken to implement the plan
