(3) These Regulations operate in relation to asbestos waste not being domestic waste which is produced in the course of any of the activities of construction, modification, repair and maintenance (including structural works) or demolition of domestic premises or any part thereof, so as to treat any contractor engaged by a domestic occupier—

of that Act by or pursuant to section 15 of that Act; and
(b)has one or more hazardous properties arising other than from its radioactive nature.
