The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (Exposure to Asbestos) Regulations 2006 in Ireland are designed to protect workers from health risks associated with exposure to asbestos in the workplace. Asbestos is a hazardous material known for causing serious respiratory diseases, and these Regulations provide a comprehensive framework for employers to assess, control, and manage asbestos-related risks.
The Regulations aim to protect workers from the health risks associated with asbestos exposure. Affected businesses must proactively manage asbestos-related risks, implement control measures, and prioritise the safety and well-being of their employees.
