Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006 every non domestic property in the UK requires to have a register of possible asbestos containing materials within the premises. If you own or occupy commercial property, the duty to prepare this register and form a Management Plan for any such materials is probably yours.

This is a legal requirement regardless of whether or not you think there may be asbestos containing materials within your building. Shepherd Asbestos Solutions can assess your property and prepare an Asbestos Register. This is normally a non disruptive and inexpensive process.

In our experience, most commercial properties have some materials suspected to contain asbestos fibres. The majority of these can be managed safely without the need for further cost.

Asbestos kills thousands each year and this legislation is designed to protect your staff and any attending tradesman. The cost to your business of ignoring this requirement could be devastating. Contact us for further advice.
