Asbestos, commonly found in any building constructed before 2000, is responsible for around 5,000 deaths annually. In 2022, there were 2,257 deaths from mesothelioma in the UK, a slight decrease from the previous year. Additionally, there were 493 reported deaths from asbestosis.
Asbestos exposure of employees can lead companies to legal and financial claims. Therefore, employers must appoint responsible persons to protect anyone on the work premises from the risk of exposure.

In the UK, the duty to manage asbestos refers to the legal obligation to manage the risks of exposure to asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) within non-domestic premises under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. This duty entails identifying the presence of asbestos, assessing its condition and implementing control measures to prevent exposure to asbestos fibres.
Regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 introduced the duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises.
Anyone who controls or is responsible for maintaining non-domestic premises has a duty to manage asbestos within the building. This duty also applies to common areas of multi-occupancy domestic premises.
The duty holder for asbestos management is the entity with control over the premises or responsibility for maintaining it, such as the building owner, landlord or employer. This duty holder must ensure compliance with relevant asbestos regulations to protect the health and safety of occupants and workers.
Employers and building owners are responsible for preventing exposure to asbestos within their premises. Duty holders must check whether asbestos is present in their building and determine its condition. They must then ensure controls are in place to prevent exposure.

This is a knowledge-based course that provides a detailed introduction to the roles and responsibilities of duty holders and represents an important step in developing the knowledge component of competence.
However, completing any knowledge-based course alone, including this one, does not in itself make an individual a ‘competent person’ under UK law. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) defines competence as a combination of skills, knowledge, training, and practical experience.
Competence must therefore be demonstrated through the practical application of learning in real-world contexts relevant to your work. It is ultimately the employer’s legal duty to assess whether this has been achieved to a competent level for any specific role or task. This knowledge-based training, combined with hands-on skills practice and real-world job experience, plays a vital role in your competence development pathway.
