New consultation on Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012

Published on April 23, 2021 by Andrew Litchfield, Amber Strickland and Michael Hafen

New consultation on Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012

The Health & Safety Executive (HSE) has announced that it will be consulting a wide range of stakeholders about the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, starting in May 2021.

The review will seek to establish if the regulations continue to meet their objectives, remain appropriate and are still the best means to minimise exposure to asbestos.

This will be the second post-implementation (PIR) review of the regulations.  The first PIR was published in 2017 – confirming the majority view that the regulations were practical to implement and were effective in achieving their objective to protect workers and others from the risks of exposure to asbestos.  There was clear recognition from those involved in the review of the importance of the specific duties in the regulations in keeping workers and others safe from the risks of exposure to asbestos.

We will let you know when the consultation goes live.  It will be interesting to see the questions that will be asked of stakeholders in this second review.  Watch this space..
