This new publication contains the Control of Asbestos Regulations
2012, the Approved Code of Practice (ACOP) and guidance text for
employers about work which disturbs, or is likely to disturb, asbestos,
asbestos sampling and laboratory analysis. The Regulations set out your
legal duties and the ACOP and guidance give practical advice on how to
comply with those requirements. The Regulations give minimum standards
for protecting employees from risks associated with exposure to
asbestos.
The Regulations came into force on 6 April 2012,
updating and replacing the previous law from 2006. The Regulations
contain new requirements for certain types of non-licensable work with
asbestos on notification of work; designating areas where you are
working on asbestos; medical surveillance and record keeping.
Two
ACOPs, L127 (The management of asbestos in non-domestic premises) and
L143 (Work with materials containing asbestos) have been consolidated
into this single revised ACOP. The ACOP has been revised to make legal
compliance clearer to duty holders and to reflect the changes introduced
in The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. The presentation and
language have been updated wherever possible.
