▪️what the legal duty is, and the steps required to comply with the law.

▪️who the dutyholder is, depending on the type of building etc, and what they must do.

▪️new templates of an asbestos management plan and an asbestos register with a site plan.

▪️examples of how asbestos can be managed across different industries.

Every tradesperson is likely to undertake work in a building that contains asbestos at some point. Those carrying out repairs or refurbishment work are at a higher risk of disturbing asbestos, especially when working in houses built before the year 2000.

The HSE has developed a campaign called Asbestos and You to highlight the risk of asbestos to tradespeople.

For more information visit the Asbestos and You website (link below).

Here you can access resources including:

▪️a quick guide for trades
▪️asbestos essentials task sheets

Asbestos & You is a campaign that helps tradespeople avoid the risk of disturbing asbestos, which remains in millions of homes and buildings today.

From October until March 2024, HSE will be inspecting manufacturing businesses that use metalworking fluids or coolants in their machining processes.

Inspectors will be focused on how employers are ensuring workers are protected from exposure to fluid or mist generated by computer numerical control (CNC) machines and that regular health checks are in place.

There are 3 areas where manufacturing companies, particularly smaller companies, commonly fall down on compliance:

▪️not having Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV)
▪️not completing regular fluid quality checks
▪️not providing regular health checks for lung and skin conditions.
