 FAQ Section: 
Why another regulation?
Up to 500 000 commercial, industrial and public buildings
in the UK are likely to contain asbestos materials.
Unless this material is properly managed,
building and maintenance workers may breathe in harmful asbestos fibres when carrying out everyday jobs.
What buildings are affected?
All non-domestic buildings, whatever type of business is carried out in them.
It also covers the common areas of residential rented properties, including
halls, stair wells, lift shafts and roof spaces.
Who is responsible?
The dutyholder is anyone responsible for maintaining and repairing all or part
of a property, or who has control of the building. For example, the occupier or
the owner.
Will the regulation affect me?
If you control or have information about the building, you must co-operate
with the dutyholder. For instance, landlords must pass on relevant information to
new tenants, and leaseholders must allow access for inspection by
managing agents.
