Posted By Stephen R Robinson Just flicked through an IPPC website. Apparently a PPC permit will be requried for installations carrying out 'Asbestos Activities' from 2006. Does anyone know anything about potential implications of this? Haven't seen it on the radar before now.

Posted By Ron Hunter The legal definition of 'installation' is surely the key point here? I would guess this would refer to landfill accepting asbestos waste for example, but not to any workplace where temporary removal or remediation work was undertaken. We can't have many (any?) workplaces left using asbestos in a manufacturing process, with the possible exception of manufacture of specialist filters for industry involving chlorine manufacture (I think that was the exemption in the Prohibition Regs!)
