View the Asbestos Register

Use this page to view the Asbestos Register for Bath & North East Somerset Council.

We manage a large and varied property portfolio. Some of the buildings were constructed or refurbished at a time when asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) were commonly used.

As an employer and property owner, we must comply with the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012), associated Approved Codes of Practice and relevant best-practice guidance.

Our duty to manage asbestos

Under Regulation 4 of CAR 2012, we have a legal duty to identify, record, monitor and manage all known or presumed ACMs within our properties. This information forms the basis of our Asbestos Management Plan, which is periodically reviewed and shared with anyone who may be affected.

About the Asbestos Register

The Asbestos Register is a key part of our Asbestos Management Plan. It includes:

the location of all identified or presumed ACMs
their type and condition
associated risk assessments
required management actions

! Warning You must review the Asbestos Register for the property before starting any work.

The Register is a live document and is kept up to date to ensure safe working practices.
