Petition Action

Government to legislate and enforce a National Asbestos Register. To Save Lives!

Petition Details

Competent & insured surveyors will lodge asbestos reports & registers; they can then be downloaded to know the dangers instantly, thus allowing better planning, safer working & safety controls. 5000 people die in the UK of Asbestos related diseases each year. Twice as many than killed on our roads.

Additional Information

5000 people die each year from Asbestos related diseases - www.hse.gov.uk/statistics/overall/hssh1415.pdf

Any non-domestic building built before 2000 needs an Asbestos Register - it IS the LAW. Reg 4 of CAR 2012

Yet many reports 'go missing', are unavailable or do NOT exist. They should be lodged like EPC's. This would ensure safety at all levels of work; that asbestos found IS being managed by providing an easier, faster way of checking. Ensuring instant access to the most up to date report.
