Importance of training:

The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 – which came into force on 6th April 2012 – requires that the responsible person (or duty holder) in all non-domestic premises is responsible for ensuring that people who work there or visit the premises are protected against ill-health from exposure to asbestos. This includes all non-domestic buildings – industrial, commercial or public buildings – for example, offices, schools, hospitals, factories, shops and warehouses.

    “Every employer must prevent the exposure to asbestos of any employee employed by that employer so far as is reasonably practicable.”

    The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
