Abstract: This paper aims to provide the reader with a deeper understanding of the importance of complying with asbestos regulations, the management of asbestos, and the dangers it poses. It explains who has a duty to manage asbestos and what the role of a dutyholder is. The paper also explores the requirement for employers to provide training to all employees who may come into contact with asbestos, and the best way to deliver this in order to comply with the Control of Asbestos Regulations. It will also provide the reader with an explanation of the licensing regime that has been put in place to ensure that work with asbestos is controlled and monitored. Lastly, this paper will explain the HSE's six-step guidance in asbestos management and will offer the reader practical ways for the dutyholder, or other appointed competent person, to manage asbestos in a practical context.
