Something very wrong here johnboy. Manufacturers don't make or supply COSHH assessments. COSHH doesn't apply to asbestos. In any event, why would you want to reference a potential for a product no longer permitted to be supplied? If any of what you state is mentioned in your FFI action then I suggest it is incompetent and needs to be challenged.

Any chance of quoting us the text of the "material breach"?

John I don't understand why an HSE Inspector would anticipate there being any asbestos in the render to be mixed. It's import has been outlawed in the UK for years. You should be confident that any structure built from 2000 is asbestos free.

mmmmm....heard from who? I suspect that's not actually true - you might want to contact the myth busters panel.

John, Are you sure the render was being applied? and not being broken off from an old property hence creating dust particles and the need for you to generate a COSHH assessment? Although if it was to contain asbestos i'm pretty sure you'd have bigger problems on your hands than FFI. The scenario is very confusing, as previously stated by Ron a supplier/manufacturer doesn't generate COSHH assessments that is the duty of the user/handler. You should certainly request MSDS from them when receiving such products.
