11.—(1) Every employer shall—
(a)prevent the exposure of his employees to asbestos so far as is reasonably practicable;
(b)where it is not reasonably practicable to prevent such exposure—
(i)take the measures necessary to reduce the exposure of his employees to asbestos to the lowest level reasonably practicable by measures other than the use of respiratory protective equipment, and
(ii)ensure that the number of his employees who are exposed to asbestos at any one time is as low as is reasonably practicable.
(2) Where it is not reasonably practicable for the employer to prevent the exposure of his employees to asbestos in accordance with paragraph (1)(a), the measures referred to in paragraph (1)(b)(i) shall include, in order of priority—
(a)the design and use of appropriate work processes, systems and engineering controls and the provision and use of suitable work equipment and materials in order to avoid or minimise the release of asbestos; and
(b)the control of exposure at source, including adequate ventilation systems and appropriate organisational measures,
and the employer shall so far as is reasonably practicable provide the employees concerned with suitable respiratory protective equipment in addition to the measures required by sub-paragraphs (a) and (b).
(3) Where it is not reasonably practicable to reduce the exposure of an employee to asbestos to below the control limit by the measures referred to in paragraph (1)(b)(i), then, in addition to taking those measures, the employer shall provide that employee with suitable respiratory protective equipment which will reduce the concentration of asbestos in the air inhaled by the employee (after taking account of the effect of that respiratory protective equipment) to a concentration which is—
(a)below the control limit; and
(b)is as low as is reasonably practicable.
(4) Personal protective equipment provided by an employer in accordance with this regulation or with regulation 14(1) shall be suitable for its purpose and shall—
(a)comply with any provision of the Personal Protective Equipment Regulations 2002 M1 which is applicable to that item of personal protective equipment; or
(b)in the case of respiratory protective equipment, where no provision referred to in sub-paragraph (a) applies, be of a type approved or shall conform to a standard approved, in either case, by the Executive.
(5) The employer shall—
(a)ensure that no employee is exposed to asbestos in a concentration in the air inhaled by that worker which exceeds the control limit; or
(b)if the control limit is exceeded—
(i)forthwith inform any employees concerned and their representatives and ensure that work does not continue in the affected area until adequate measures have been taken to reduce employees' exposure to asbestos to below the control limit,
(ii)as soon as is reasonably practicable identify the reasons for the control limit being exceeded and take the appropriate measures to prevent it being exceeded again, and
(iii)check the effectiveness of the measures taken pursuant to sub-paragraph (ii) by carrying out immediate air monitoring.
