As of the 1st February 2023, Regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 took effect following the introduction of the Control of Asbestos (Application) Order 2022.
If you are the 'Duty Holder' (This could be the building owner, lease holder, tenant or even the person who has the maintenance responsibilities) Regulation 4 The Duty to Manage places a legal duty upon you to find, locate, record and manage asbestos within your buildings. In simple terms if you have a non domestic building that was constructed before the year 2000, then this legal requirement will apply to you.
This comes following a 6 month period to allow property owners and managers to put in place following the introduction of the Control of Asbestos (Application) Order 2022 and the Health and Safety at Work (Managing and Working with Asbestos Code of Practice)(Application)Order 2022, which came into force on the 1 August 2022, having been passed through Tynwald on the 21 June 2022.
