People move on. When the person who looks after asbestos in a building changes, the knowledge they carried can go with them. HSE lists a change of the staff responsible as one of the times to review and update your asbestos management plan.
What to hand over
- The current asbestos register, including dates of the original and last inspection.
- The asbestos management plan and who is responsible for each part of it.
- The original survey and any refurbishment and demolition surveys.
- Records of removal or repair work, with paperwork from the contractors.
- The date the next re-inspection is due.
Check the register is current
HSE says the register “must always contain current information”. If the last inspection is more than a year old, a re-inspection gives the new person a clean, dated starting point.
