Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon

As a commercial tenant in Devon, it's essential to understand your responsibilities when it comes to asbestos management. The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 requires that anyone in control of a non-domestic premise, including commercial tenants, must manage the risks from asbestos. But what does this mean for you, and are you required to conduct an asbestos survey?

An asbestos survey is a thorough inspection of your commercial premises to identify and assess the presence of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). This survey is crucial in determining the risks associated with asbestos and developing a plan to manage or remove it. As a commercial tenant, you have a duty to ensure that your employees, customers, and anyone else who may be affected by your business operations are protected from the risks of asbestos.

While the responsibility for conducting an asbestos survey ultimately lies with the duty holder, which is typically the landlord or property owner, as a commercial tenant, you may still be required to contribute to the process. This could involve providing access to the premises, sharing information about any previous asbestos surveys or removals, or participating in the development of an asbestos management plan.

If asbestos is found in your commercial premises, you will need to work with your landlord or property owner to develop a plan to manage or remove it. This may involve hiring a licensed asbestos removal contractor, such as 1st Choice Asbestos, to safely remove the asbestos-containing materials. As a commercial tenant, you should ensure that any asbestos removal work is carried out in accordance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and that you are provided with a copy of the asbestos survey report and any subsequent removal certificates.

Failure to manage asbestos in your commercial premises can have serious consequences, including fines, prosecution, and damage to your business reputation. More importantly, it can put the health and wellbeing of your employees, customers, and anyone else who may be affected by your business operations at risk. As a commercial tenant, it's essential that you take your responsibilities seriously and work with your landlord or property owner to ensure that asbestos is properly managed.
