Where an assessment shows that Asbestos is liable to be present, the duty holder has to ensure that a written plan is developed. Regulation 8 (c) of The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006 (CAR 2006) states that you must identify the measures to be taken for managing the risk this material poses.

 

CAR 2006 Regulation 9 (b) states that the management plan must include adequate measures for "ensuring any asbestos or any such substance is properly maintained or where necessary safely removed."

 

ASAP specialise in the project managment of asbestos remediation works and disposal. Under Regulation 10 (b) of CAR 2006 the dutyholder must ensure "the measures specified... are implemented" and under Regulation 10 (c) that "measures taken ... are recorded".
