Last month we launched our Asbestos Your Duty campaign. The campaign is raising awareness of the health risks of asbestos exposure and the duty to manage asbestos in buildings, and now we want your help. We have developed a new range of free resources to support those with the legal duty. Please share these with your colleagues and networks to raise awareness of this important issue. Our research and insight revealed that many businesses are unaware if they are the dutyholder, thats why we created an online quiz to help people identify if they have a legal duty to manage asbestos.

Watch and learn The duty to manage asbestos covers a range of non-domestic buildings, including premises like factories, warehouses, offices and shops and public buildings like hospitals, schools, premises used for religious worship, museums and libraries. To help people understand their legal requirements we have created 2 short videos, which outline: the steps to the duty to manage asbestos in buildings how to prepare for a duty to manage asbestos inspection and what to expect when a HSE inspector visits Information and resources HSE provides dutyholders with a range of resources. You can: download the asbestos management plan template and the asbestos register template for your buildings view examples of where asbestos can hide in industrial buildings and examples of how asbestos risks can be managed Our where asbestos hides poster aims to highlight the most common locations asbestos can be found. Whether you are a worker, building owner, landlord, employer or person responsible for building maintenance, you should be aware of where asbestos is most frequently found in buildings in order to protect yourself and others.
