The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is seeking stakeholders’ views on three proposals:
- To ensure the independence and impartiality of roles in the four-stage clearance process to further minimise the risk of exposure from asbestos to workers and building users after the removal of asbestos
- To drive up the standard of asbestos surveys to ensure duty holders have the information they need to safely manage asbestos risks
- To clarify the type of work that constitutes work with asbestos known as notifiable non-licensed work (NNLW)
Further information is available here. To view the consultation and to submit your comments go to: Legislative and guidance proposals for the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
The consultation is open for comments until 9 January 2026.
