This ACOP provides advice on the duties under regulation 4 of the Asbestos Regulations to manage the risk from asbestos in non-domestic premises. It explains the duties of building owners, tenants and any other parties who have any legal responsibility for the premises.

It also sets out what is required of people who have a duty to co-operate with the main dutyholder to enable them to comply with the regulation.

Regulation 4 requires dutyholders to:

(a) take reasonable steps to find materials in premises likely to contain asbestos and to check their condition;

(b) presume that materials contain asbestos unless there is strong evidence to suppose they do not;

(c) make a written record of the location and condition of asbestos and presumed asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) and keep the record up to date;

(d) assess the risk of the likelihood of anyone being exposed to these materials;

(e) prepare a plan to manage that risk and put it into effect to ensure that:

(i) any material known or presumed to contain asbestos is kept in a good
state of repair;

(ii) any material that contains or is presumed to contain asbestos is, because of the risks associated with its location or condition, repaired or if necessary removed; and

(iii) information on the location and condition of the material is given to anyone potentially at risk.

This ACOP and guidance give advice on ways to manage the risk from asbestos in non-domestic premises. The aim is to protect workers who may come across asbestos in the course of their day-to-day activities. However, this should also result in the protection of any other people who may be at risk from the potential release of asbestos fibres into the air.

The status of Approved Codes of Practice

This document provides advice on how to comply with regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006 (the Asbestos Regulations). It contains an Approved Code of Practice (ACOP), which gives advice on the preferred means of compliance with the regulation.

This advice has a special legal status - if you are prosecuted for a breach of health and safety law and it is proved that you did not follow the relevant provisions of an ACOP, you will need to show that you have complied with the law in some other way or a court will find you at fault. The document also contains more general guidance on ways to comply with the law, which does not have this special status. The ACOP is in bold type and the more general guidance material is in normal type.
