  1. As Chair of the Joint Industry Working Group on Asbestos in Soil and Construction and Demolition Materials I can say with complete authority that it is the JIWG that will be publishing a document entitled “Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, Interpretation for Managing and Working with Asbestos in Soil and Construction & Demolition Materials, Industry Guidance”.

    I myself am the author of this industry guidance and have been working in close cooperation with representatives of the HSE, which is represented on the JIWG, in its development and ultimate approval. The aim of this project is to clarify the interpretation of the Control of Asbestos Regulations and the Approved Code of Practice and Guidance contained in HSE publication “Managing and working with asbestos, Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, Approved Code of Practice and guidance”, which is commonly referred to as “L143”, for stakeholders engaged in the assessment and management of soil and C&D materials that may be contaminated with asbestos.

    This industry guidance will support another document which is in preparation and which will be published by the JIWG later this year or early 2016. This will be entitled “Asbestos in Soil, Made Ground and Construction & Demolition Materials, Industry Code of Practice – Practitioners’ Guidance”.
