Asbestos Management for Buildings

Many domestic properties built or refurbished before 1999 still contain asbestos that can be disturbed during routine maintenance or refurbishment. Without a structured process, duty holders may maintain incomplete records, overlook priority areas or rely on inconsistent controls, leaving residents at risk and organisations vulnerable to compliance failures.

This toolkit supports those who oversee day-to-day building safety and maintenance. It introduces a clear, practical framework for locating asbestos-containing materials, recording their condition and applying proportionate management actions that protect occupants and reduce legal exposure.
