The Duty to Manage Asbestos is a legal requirement under Regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.
It applies to people with responsibility for the maintenance or repair of non-domestic premises, or control over those premises.
The duty involves identifying whether asbestos-containing materials are present or may be present, assessing their condition and risk, keeping an asbestos register, preparing and implementing a management plan, and ensuring relevant information is provided to anyone who may disturb the materials.
HSE describes asbestos management as an ongoing responsibility rather than a one-off excercise.
This course is designed for people who require an understanding of managing asbestos-containing materials in buildings and the requirements of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

You can take the Duty to Manage Asbestos course online. Presented by one of our expert trainers with industry experience. It provides an enhanced learning experience compared to traditional self-paced online learning.
Under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012), the duty to manage asbestos should fall on the duty holder. This is generally the person who is responsible for maintaining and repairing the building. However, the duty can be shared across several people with a vested interest in the property. Examples of the duty holder could be the owner, landlord, or tenant etc.
Yes, you should have a valid asbestos awareness certificate dated within the past 6 months as prerequisite to taking the Duty to Manage course. This ensures the candidate is already familiar with the topic and can keep up with the pace of teaching. This is also in line with IATP course requirements.
The Duty to Manage Asbestos was introduced under the Control of Asbestos at Work Regulations 2002. The duty itself came into force on 21 Many 2004. It requires those responsible for maintaining and repairing non-domestic premises to find out where asbestos is present, assess the risks and make sure it is properly managed. The duty is now covered by Regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012).
No, having a duty to manage certificate does not allow you to work with asbestos. Holding a valid duty to manage certificate shows that you are aware of legal duties, different surveys and asbestos plans, emergency procedures, and how to share information on identified asbestos. If you want to work with asbestos, you should consider G&L Consultancy's Non-Licensed and Licensed Asbestos courses. These give you the practical skills and knowledge to safely handle asbestos.
Yes, this course can be made into a private online session or be presented at a venue of your choice. If you have 7 or more candidates, speak to on e of our friendly team as it would be more affordable for you to book a private session for your group.
