Not every asbestos-containing material has to be removed

Understand your responsibilities in Jersey
Jersey has its own health and safety framework. Asbestos responsibilities arise principally through the Health and Safety at Work (Jersey) Law 1989, asbestos-specific ACoP 8 and the Health and Safety at Work (Asbestos – Licensing) (Jersey) Regulations 2008.
ACoP 14 provides wider health and safety management guidance and operates alongside ACoP 8; it does not replace the asbestos-specific code.
Before work disturbs the building
A standard management survey is not normally sufficient for intrusive refurbishment or demolition. The proposed work must be scoped and the affected areas properly investigated before work begins.
General information only. Responsibilities depend on the premises, contractual arrangements and work being undertaken.
Common asbestos questions
Do I need an asbestos survey before buying a property?
A survey is not automatically required for every private purchase, but suitable asbestos information can prevent unexpected risks and costs—particularly for older properties or where refurbishment is planned.
Which asbestos survey do I need?
A management survey supports normal occupation and maintenance. A refurbishment and demolition survey is more intrusive and should cover the areas affected by planned work. We can help you select the correct scope.
Can Jersey Asbestos arrange removal quotations?
Yes. Where removal may be appropriate, we can help source quotations to support budgeting and property negotiations while maintaining independent advice.
Does discovering asbestos mean it must be removed?
No. Depending on its type, condition and likelihood of disturbance, asbestos-containing material can often remain in place under an effective management plan.
