Asbestos
The Landlord or Management Company is responsible for all asbestos exposures in the building's public/common areas.
The Control of Asbestos at Work Regulation 2002 (CAWR)- the law does place specific duties on a Landlord in respect of asbestos in their property, The Environmental Protection Act (EPA) 1990 defines statutory nuisance as "any dust...likely to cause injury...to the public".
The Act gives local authorities, through Environmental Health Officers (EHOs), the power to serve abatement notices where premises are in such a state as to be prejudicial to health or a nuisance. If an Environmental Health Department is not acting upon a complaint, residents should contact their local councillor to add weight to their case.
