From 1st May 2015, medical examinations will be required for all workers carrying out notifiable non-licenced work on asbestos.
The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 requires medical surveillance for workers undertaking licensed asbestos work, and now also covers workers carrying out Notifiable Non-Licensed Work (NNLW) on asbestos.
These examinations can be carried out by an appropriate fully registered medical practitioner and must be repeated every three years while this type of work is undertaken or expected to be undertaken. To keep up with the change in regulations, employers are required to keep a health record for each worker involved in NNLW.
