| Abstract |
This manual is aimed at workers in the construction, maintenance, refurbishment and related trades, who are most likely to come into contact with asbestos-containing materials in their work. It will help these workers identify the risks of specific tasks. As well as helping safeguard workers' health, this manual will allow small businesses, subcontractors and the self-employed comply with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006. Contents: task sheets with illustrations and step-by-step guidance; equipment and method sheets, with guidance for using the right tools for the job; decision support flow chart on whether to carry out the work or use an HSE licensed contractor; an "asbestos house" showing some of the most common places where asbestos is likely to be found.
