Can you tell me what the procedure is to safeguard workers doing work in domestic properties, where they might possibly come up against some type of Asbestos and disturb it? Obviously the Asbestos Regs are designed for NDP but what safety measures should be in place in domestic homes?

RR has got it right As for asbestos; if a worker a S:3 person or the environment [note the environment] became contaminated with asbestos then the person at work [the employer] would be in the firing line irrespective of the technicalities of specific law areas working in domestic environments for large landlords is hard enough but for individual domestic owners its very very difficult especially so as there are 100's of 1000's out there who offer services to domestic clients at cheap rates for what outwardly appears to the domestic client to be the same job when in the vast majority of cases its not best of luck

There are regulations and there are other regulations, but asbestos is always asbestos.
