The publication - Managing Asbestos: report for property owner and managers - covers the historical usage and processing of asbestos, asbestos production (including sprayed asbestos, thermal insulation, asbestos insulating board, and asbestos cement), asbestos hazards (including asbestosis, mesothelioma and pleural plaques), and the implications of asbestos legislation.
The free-to-download report contains new information regarding duty holders responsibilities in light of the European Asbestos Worker Protection Directive (AWPD). This includes:
- Duty to Manage - what do the new regulations mean for facilities managers and duty holders?
- Sporadic and low-intensity work - what does this mean in practice?
- Awareness training - who needs awareness training and who is responsible for ensuring that those working with asbestos have been properly trained?
John Richards, author of the report and technical director at Thames Laboratories, commented:
"This report aims to provide a comprehensive introduction to the subject for property owners and managers, health and safety professionals, facilities managers, and - of course - all employers who have duties under asbestos legislation." - News Realease, UK
