Amended Asbestos Regulations
Share: 
The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (Exposure to Asbestos) (Amendment) Regulations 2010 have just been signed into law. These regulations amend a number of the provisions of 2006 Asbestos Regulations.
Below is the summary of the new provisions:
- Regulation 15 (Plan of Work) has been extended and now includes repair and maintenance
- Regulation 15 has been re-enacted and a number of new or revised sub-clauses were added
- Employers are now obliged to make medical records of staff who ceased employment available by their medical practitioner to the Health and Safety authority or their nominated body (Regulation 25)
- Regulation 26 has been re-enacted with a provision in relation to the application of asbestos by spraying
- When an activity is carried out which has a potential to expose employees to asbestos, a copy of the plan of work is required to be made available to the HSA.
The HSA are due to publish guidance notes early next year.
