Asbestos Management Plans

To help reduce the incident of disease the Control of Asbestos Regulations (CAR) were introduced in 1987. In 2002 these regulations were amended to introduce Regulation 4, a Duty to Manage, Asbestos Management Plan (AMP) Duty holders have a legal requirement to locate the presence of asbestos, assess the condition and manage the material.

Following completion of the survey the Asbestos Management Plan (AMP) assesses the risk of asbestos containing products being disturbed and if they are disturbed, who will be affected. This information is used to then put into place, programs of removal, remediation and re-inspection as required. The revised Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006 reinforces the previous responsibilities on employers to manage asbestos within their premises.

If refurbishment or demolition works are planned on site, further responsibilities must be fulfilled.

EMS have a team of qualified consultants to either work with you to produce a plan, produce an Asbestos Management Plan for you to help implement it or to take complete responsibility for your asbestos.
