The Estates Department at the University of Bath is acutely aware of the responsibility to manage the risk posed by asbestos containing materials within buildings under their control. Historically, the University has appointed an external Consultant to assist in compliance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations. Over the years surveys have been undertaken within all University buildings on and off campus. More recently the data from these surveys has been collated into an electronic database.

Asbestos removal work at the University is normally driven by refurbishment works, routine maintenance and risk assessment of materials following inspection. The Consultant(s) are engaged, when deemed necessary in this process, to project manage the remediation.
