Asbestos Compliance Support Across a Range of Sectors
We work with organisations across a wide range of sectors, each with its own asbestos compliance challenges. Our independent advice is tailored to the specific needs and circumstances of each organisation.
Care Homes
Care homes face particular scrutiny from regulators including the CQC, and asbestos compliance is an area where gaps in documentation or management arrangements can have serious consequences.
Common compliance challenges
- Demonstrating compliance to the CQC and other regulators
- Managing asbestos in occupied buildings with vulnerable residents
- Keeping registers and management plans current as buildings change
- Ensuring contractors are properly briefed before carrying out work
How we can help
We provide independent compliance audits, register and management plan reviews, and annual re-inspections to help care home providers demonstrate that their asbestos management arrangements are effective and up to date. Our advice is practical and proportionate — focused on helping you meet your legal obligations without unnecessary disruption to your operations.
Churches
Many church buildings are older properties with complex asbestos histories. PCCs and trustees often have limited in-house expertise and may be uncertain about their responsibilities.
Common compliance challenges
- Understanding the duty to manage and who is responsible
- Managing asbestos in historic buildings with limited resources
- Ensuring volunteers and contractors are properly informed
- Keeping documentation current across multiple buildings
How we can help
We provide clear, accessible advice to help PCCs and trustees understand their responsibilities and put appropriate management arrangements in place. Our approach is practical and proportionate — recognising that churches often have limited resources and need straightforward guidance rather than complex documentation.
Schools
Schools have a particular duty of care to pupils, staff and visitors, and asbestos compliance is an area where headteachers and governors need to be confident that their arrangements are effective.
Common compliance challenges
- Understanding the responsibilities of headteachers and governors
- Managing asbestos in buildings that are in constant use
- Ensuring maintenance staff and contractors are properly briefed
- Keeping documentation current as buildings are modified or extended
How we can help
We provide independent compliance support to help schools understand and discharge their asbestos management responsibilities. We work with headteachers, business managers and governors to review existing arrangements, identify any gaps and provide practical recommendations for improvement.
Charities
Charities often occupy older buildings and may have limited in-house expertise to manage asbestos compliance effectively. Trustees have a duty of care to staff, volunteers and the people they serve.
Common compliance challenges
- Understanding trustee responsibilities for asbestos management
- Managing compliance with limited resources and expertise
- Ensuring volunteers and contractors are properly informed
- Maintaining documentation across multiple premises
How we can help
We provide practical, proportionate compliance advice to help charities understand their responsibilities and put appropriate management arrangements in place. Our advice is accessible and jargon-free — focused on helping trustees meet their duty of care without unnecessary complexity.
SMEs
Small and medium-sized businesses that own or occupy premises built before 2000 have legal obligations under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 — but may be uncertain about what those obligations require in practice.
Common compliance challenges
- Understanding whether the duty to manage applies to their premises
- Knowing what documentation and management arrangements are required
- Ensuring contractors are properly briefed before carrying out work
- Managing compliance without dedicated health and safety resource
How we can help
We provide clear, accessible guidance to help SMEs understand their asbestos compliance obligations and put appropriate arrangements in place. Our advice is practical and proportionate — focused on helping you meet your legal duties without unnecessary cost or complexity.
Property Management Companies
Property management companies are often responsible for asbestos management across a varied portfolio of properties, each with its own compliance history and documentation.
Common compliance challenges
- Managing compliance across multiple properties with different histories
- Ensuring documentation is current and accessible across a portfolio
- Overseeing contractor compliance across multiple sites
- Demonstrating compliance to property owners and leaseholders
How we can help
We provide independent compliance support to help property management companies manage their asbestos obligations across a portfolio of properties. We can review existing documentation, carry out compliance audits and annual re-inspections, and provide independent oversight of contractor documentation — helping you demonstrate that your management arrangements are effective and up to date.
