HSE asbestos inspections are continuing

HSE inspectors are visiting the head offices of councils across the country to ensure asbestos risks are being managed effectively to keep people safe.  

Each visit will see inspections take place at several different sites within each local authority’s property portfolio. This continues the work of previous inspection campaigns that targeted hospitals and schools.

The duty to manage asbestos covers a wide range of buildings, some regulated by HSE and others regulated by colleagues in local authorities.
