Work with materials containing asbestos

Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006, Approved Code of Practice and guidance L143

This Approved Code of Practice (ACOP) applies to all work with asbestos and explains the requirements of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006. It replaces the previous ACOPs, L27 and L28. It also replaces the guide to the Asbestos (Licensing) Regulations 1983, L11.

The book applies in particular to work on, or which disturbs or is liable to disturb, materials containing asbestos, asbestos sampling and laboratory analysis. It is particularly relevant to those who are responsible for the maintenance and repair of non-domestic premises where asbestos-containing materials are or are likely to be present.
