    FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
    What buildings are affected by asbestos?
    Potentially all buildings, no matter what type of business is carried out in them. Areas often affected include the common areas of residential rented properties, such as halls, stair wells, lift shafts and roof spaces.
    What do I need to do?
    Regulatory asbestos verifications are different from country to country. In all developed countries, there is a legal obligation to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises. Everyone must take action - even if all you have to do is co-operate with the dutyholder. If you are a dutyholder you must: find out whether your building contains asbestos and what condition it is in, assess the risk and make a plan to manage that risk.
