Asbestos – Your Duty
If you are responsible for maintenance and repair of non-domestic buildings or multi-occupancy domestic premises, you have a legal duty to manage asbestos in a building.
This includes factories, warehouses, offices and shops; and public buildings like hospitals, schools, premises used for religious worship, museums and libraries.
The person who has a legal duty to manage asbestos in a building (the dutyholder) could be the:
- building owner
- landlord for the premises
- person or organisation with clear responsibility for the building’s maintenance or repair.
This video explains the steps to the duty to manage asbestos in buildings.
