Responsibility
Who Is a Duty Holder?
If you have responsibility for a non-domestic building — through ownership, occupation or a tenancy agreement — the duty to manage likely falls to you. That includes:
- Landlords of commercial property
- Employers occupying premises
- Managing agents
- Housing associations (common areas)
- Schools & healthcare estates
In Practice
What Compliance Looks Like
Compliance is a cycle, not a one-off: survey the building, record findings in a register, put a management plan in place, communicate it to anyone who might disturb ACMs, re-inspect annually, and keep records audit-ready. We run that cycle with you so nothing slips.
Common Questions
Asbestos management FAQs
What is an asbestos register?
A living record of the asbestos-containing materials in your building — where they are, what type and condition they're in, and how they're being managed. It's the backbone of your duty to manage and the first thing an auditor or contractor will ask for.
How often must the register be reviewed?
At least annually, and whenever the building changes or a material is disturbed. We carry out re-inspections and keep your register and management plan current so compliance never lapses.
Does the duty to manage apply to flats?
It applies to the common parts of residential blocks — closes, stairwells, plant rooms and shared services — even though individual flats are domestic. Factors and housing associations are typically the duty holders for those common areas.
What are the penalties for non-compliance?
Breaching CAR 2012 can lead to enforcement notices, fines and, in serious cases, prosecution. Beyond the legal risk, an unmanaged ACM that's disturbed puts people in harm's way — which is exactly what a management plan prevents.
