  • where asbestos is likely to be found in buildings
  • the hazards to health from asbestos
  • the requirement for an asbestos management plan to be prepared for any workplace premises
  • information for persons who carry out work on materials which are subject to the Asbestos-Licensing (Jersey) Regulations 2008
  • information for persons who carry out work on materials which are not subject to the Asbestos-Licensing (Jersey) Regulations 2008
