HSE: Consultation on proposals to amended Control of Asbestos Regulations (2012)
The HSE is consulting on proposals to change regulation 22 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012).
The change involves increasing the interval by one year with which licensed asbestos workers are required to attend for medical examination.
In brief, those undertaking licensed work with asbestos would be required to undergo medical examination by an HSE-appointed doctor every three years.
Consultation began on 2 October 2017 and ends on 30 October 2017. Full details of this consultation can be found here.
