The Control of Asbestos At Work Regulation act was introduced in 2002 in United Kingdom.The act included several new policies and updates in previous laws about the use of asbestos and the licensing of asbestos.
The 2002 act was later updated in 2006 enforced few more policies along with updates in old policies.As asbestos was used in buildings from 1950s to 1980s so the Control of Regulation Act 2006 required the workers to know about the construction of the building they work in.
Asbestos was used in construction and in buildings till the late 80s.However it was banned by several countries (including United Kingdom)but the use of white asbestos (which is least dangerous among other forms) was not totally eradicated.In 1999 white asbestos' use was also limited.
The 2006 Control of Asbestos at Work regulation passed policies which had 3 main features :
1. Control on Licensing of Asbestos
2. Control On Importation of asbestos
3. Control on Usage and supply of asbestos
It was required for every commercial building to maintain as a register which keeps the data about the materials used in construction of building.
Though not all the asbestos present today in most of buildings is dangerous.If it is undamaged than there is nothing to worry about.The register was kept to keep the record about the damaged and undamaged asbestos.
The policy was recently updated in 2010 which required the buildings to maintain 2 records/survey :
1. The Maintenance Survey
2. Abatement/Demolition survey
As an ideal citizen you must keep checking about the above record register.
