How do I make a management plan?

When the Government introduced the Control of Asbestos Regulations (CAR) 2012, it was in direct response to the mortality rates associated with asbestos exposure, which are estimated at around 4000 deaths per year.

It is hoped that future asbestos exposure will be reduced by ensuring compliance with Regulation 4 of CAR2012, where the Duty holder has the responsibility of ensuring the safe management of ACMs within their premises.

The duty is not limited to just an asbestos survey, but specific to safely managing asbestos by the implementation of a vigorous management process. In summary, the Regulation requires that you monitor the condition (i.e. conduct a reinspection survey) of all ACMs previously identified within your premises and create an asbestos management plan, this will outline how you intend to minimise the risks associated with asbestos exposure on your site.

To ensure compliance with Regulation 4, we strongly advise that annual re-inspections of the ACMs previously identified in your survey are conducted and if not already done so, create an asbestos management plan in line with the Approved Code of Practice L127 - The management of asbestos in non-domestic premises.

We have vast experience of undertaking re-inspection surveys and have also provided asbestos management plans for a wide range of clients, we would be happy to assist with this aspect of your regulatory compliance.
