Changes to the Control of Asbestos Regulations have come into force (6th April 2012) following modification to bring the UK legislation in to line with the minimum standards of the EU Asbestos Worker Protection Directive.
The main change involves the current "Non-Licensable" work on asbestos. This category represents the vast majority of all work carried out on asbestos within the UK, affecting some 1.8m workers annually. The "Licensed" category of work on asbestos – affecting some 9,000 workers - is not intended to be affected.
