Although Domestic Premises are not included within Regulation 4 "The Duty to Manage" of the Control of Asbestos Regulations (CAR 2006) they are still wholly appropriate to Registered Social Landlords (RSL's).
There is still a duty to manage all communal areas in line with Regulation 4 and by virtue of the fact RSL's are sending employees to work within Domestic Premises they are still a duty holder in this respect and have to fulfil their obligations under Legislation. HSG 264 has also provided some further clarification with regards to management of asbestos in domestic premises for RSL's and further information can be found on this in the white paper section of our website. We work with Registered Social Landlords across the UK undertaking asbestos consultancy activities in houses, flats, high rises and communal areas. The project detailed below is a Registered Social Landlord in Scotland.
The contract was procured in 2010 on a 4 year framework after a robust tender process.
The two work streams for this RSL are management surveys to provide asbestos register data and facilitate routine maintenance works and Refurbishment and Demolition Surveys to enable the demolition of properties.
