Extensive guidance for those with a duty to manage the risks from asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in premises, eg building owners, tenants and anyone with legal responsibilities for workplaces. Expands on advice in the free leaflet 'Managing asbestos in premises' and is useful in complex organisations.
The information - supported by photographs, diagrams, cross-sections, tabled data and case studies - commences with a flow-chart providing seven steps to guide the user through the risk management of ACMs and, in turn, through this highly detailed document. The case studies are a particularly valuable asset, especially given the sector diversity featured: (local authority) London Borough of Islington; (National Health Service Trust) Tees and North East Yorkshire; (chemicals) BP Chemicals; and (facility management) Drivers Jonas.
