“The Control of Asbestos Regulations (NI) 2012 came into force on Monday 28th May 2012, updating previous asbestos regulations to take account of the European Commission’s view that the UK had not fully implemented the EU Directive on exposure to asbestos (Directive 2009/148/EC).
This creates a new category of asbestos work namely Notifiable Non-Licensed Work (NNLW).
For NNLW employers in addition to notification will also have to:-
Which category you fall into i.e. licensable, NNLW or non-licensed work will be determined by the nature of the work you are going to carry out, the type of asbestos material you are going to work on and its condition. The identification of the type of asbestos-containing material (ACM) to be worked on and an assessment of its condition are important parts of your risk assessment, which needs to be completed before you start work.
To help with this new reporting HSENI has provided an online NNLW reporting form on its website.
Mr Ken Logan, Principal Inspector for HSENI said “Companies need to take note of this significant change in the law. HSENI will require a plan of work to be submitted along with notification of non-licensable work. Health surveillance will also have to be carried out and appropriate record keeping maintained.”

For assistance in complying with these new Regulations,please contact us.
