Criminal prosecutions triple in a year

In 2003/4 after the new regulations came into force, the HSE launched seven criminal prosecutions. This rose to 12 in 2004/5 and then jumped to 37 in 2005/6, the most recent year for which figures are available.

This is a clear indication that all business, not only those in highest risk industries, need to sit up and take notice of the Asbestos issue.

The 2002 regulations extended the responsibility of managing Asbestos to all work places, not just those where there is an obvious high risk of contact with Asbestos.

An explicit “duty to manage” Asbestos introduced under the 2002 rules includes requirements for anyone responsible of managing business premises to:

Locate Asbestos containing materials and determine their condition
Presume materials contain Asbestos unless there is strong evidence to the contrary
Assess the risk from materials and plan how to manage these in the future

The rules were further strengthened in November 2006 to improve overall worker protection by reducing exposure limits and introducing mandatory training for work with Asbestos.
