Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ita enim vivunt quidam, ut eorum vita refellatur oratio. Itaque hic ipse iam pridem est reiectus; Quis hoc dicit?

Suam denique cuique naturam esse ad vivendum ducem. Duo Reges: constructio interrete. Hic ambiguo ludimur. Confecta res esset. Sed quot homines, tot sententiae;

Sed quot homines, tot sententiae; Ex rebus enim timiditas, non ex vocabulis nascitur. Sed haec in pueris; Iam id ipsum absurdum, maximum malum neglegi. At ego quem huic anteponam non audeo dicere; At certe gravius. Ipse Epicurus fortasse redderet, ut Sextus Peducaeus, Sex.

Certe, nisi voluptatem tanti aestimaretis. Et quod est munus, quod opus sapientiae? Immo videri fortasse.

Quod cum dixissent, ille contra. Nescio quo modo praetervolavit oratio. Est, ut dicis, inquam. Easdemne res? Quia dolori non voluptas contraria est, sed doloris privatio. Haec dicuntur inconstantissime. Nihilo beatiorem esse Metellum quam Regulum.

Legal Responsibilities for Owner/Controller of Premises

Who is classified as the controller of the premises?

As per the Code of Practice for the Management and Control of Asbestos in Workplaces [NOHSC:2002(2005)], the “person with control” may be:

  • The owner of the premises
  • A person who has under any contract or lease an obligation to maintain or repair the premises
  • A person who is occupying the premises
  • A person who is able to make decisions about work undertaken at the premises
  • An employer at the premises

Persons with control of premises have a duty of care to:

  • Develop, implement and maintain an asbestos management plan.
  • Investigate the premises for the presence or possible presence of asbestos-containing material
  • Develop and maintain a register of the identified or presumed asbestos-containing material, including details on their locations, accessibility, condition, risk assessments, and control measures.
  • Develop measures to remove the asbestos-containing materials or otherwise to minimize the risks and prevent exposure to asbestos
  • Ensure the control measures are implemented as soon as possible and are maintained as long as the asbestos-containing materials remain in the workplace.
