Asbestos Pre-Work Checklist and Unexpected Find Procedure
About this document
Asbestos is still the biggest single cause of work-related deaths in the UK, and tradespeople are most at risk. The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 require duty holders to manage asbestos and contractors to find out whether asbestos is present before starting work that could disturb it. This checklist and procedure help you do that and respond safely to an unexpected find.
The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.
Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
