MANAGEMENT HAVE CHANGED

Since December 2025, Ireland's asbestos regulations require removal to be prioritised

over leaving it in place. As a building owner or manager, those duties sit with you. 

Fail them and you risk SHUTDOWN, FINES & PROSECUTION.

DON'T WAIT FOR AN HSA INSPECTION TO TELL YOU. BE PREPARED. BE PROTECTED.

  • What the current regulations mean for your business

  • What you should be doing now to comply

  • What further changes are coming in 2029

  • Why you need a asbestos management plan

  • What your options are if you have an asbestos roof

THE RULES HAVE CHANGED

BUILDING OWNERS & MANAGERS ARE NOW LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE AND EITHER HAVE:

  • NO RECORD OF WHAT ASBESTOS IS IN THE BUILDING

  • NO CURRENT SURVEY OR RISK ASSESSMENT

  • NOTHING IN WRITING TO SHOW AN INSPECTOR

  • WORK STOPS THE MOMENT ASBESTOS IS DISTRUBED

  • ASBESTOS IDENTIFIED, LOCATED AND CONDITION RECORDED

  • SURVEY & RISK ASSESSMENT CURRENT

  • ARRANGEMENTS WRITTEN DOWN AND REFERENCED

  • CLEAR PLAN - SURVEY IT, MANAGE IT OR REMOVE IT

WHAT CURRENT REGULATIONS MEAN FOR YOUR

BUSINESS

Ireland’s asbestos regulations have already changed. If your workplace contains, or may contain, asbestos, businesses need to take proactive steps to identify the risk, assess it and manage potential exposure appropriately.

For many businesses, this means knowing where asbestos is located, what condition it is in, ensuring the correct surveys and risk assessments are available, and having appropriate management arrangements in place before maintenance, refurbishment or other work could disturb it.

The regulations also place greater emphasis on preventing exposure and prioritising removal over other forms of asbestos handling where applicable.

WHAT THE RULES ACTUALLY REQUIRE

Ireland's asbestos regulations (S.I. No. 386 of 2006, as amended by S.I. No. 632 of 2025) require you to identify asbestos before any demolition, maintenance or renovation work on a building constructed before 31 December 2004; to assess the risk to anyone who may be exposed and prioritise removal over other forms of handling; and to stop work immediately if unidentified asbestos is disturbed. Under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 that assessment must be recorded in a written safety statement. The Health and Safety Authority's published guidance sets out what an asbestos management plan should contain, expects it to be reviewed at least every twelve months, and states it should be referenced in your safety statement.

No regulation requires a document called an asbestos management plan. It is the recognised way of meeting and evidencing the duties above. Enforcement powers — improvement notices, prohibition notices and prosecution — arise under the 2005 Act, not the asbestos regulations.

This page is general information, not legal advice. S.I. No. 632 of 2025 prioritises asbestos removal but does not make it compulsory and sets no deadline for asbestos already in place. Exposure-limit values are set in the HSA Code of Practice.
