✍️ Sample UKATA Questions & Answers
1. How often must an asbestos management plan be reviewed under CAR 2012?
The asbestos management plan must be monitored and reviewed at regular intervals. The regulations do not specify an exact timeframe but the plan must be kept up to date, particularly when changes occur to the building or the condition of ACMs changes.
2. If asbestos floor tiles are found to be in good condition and are unlikely to be disturbed, what is usually the most appropriate management action?
ACMs that are in good condition and not at risk of disturbance are best managed in place, with their location recorded and condition monitored periodically, as removal itself can create greater risks.
3. Which building application commonly used sprayed asbestos coatings in pre-2000 UK buildings?
Sprayed asbestos (also called limpet) was widely applied to structural steelwork beams and columns as fire protection in commercial and industrial buildings.
4. Why is asbestos awareness training required even for workers who do not directly work with asbestos?
Awareness training is essential so that workers can recognise materials likely to contain asbestos and avoid accidentally disturbing them. Many tradespeople such as plumbers, electricians, and joiners may encounter asbestos during routine work.
5. An asbestos register should contain which of the following information?
An asbestos register must document the location, type, condition, and extent of all known or presumed asbestos-containing materials. It forms part of the management plan and must be accessible to anyone who needs to work on the building.
6. What record should be made following an accidental asbestos exposure incident?
A detailed written record must be made including the names of all exposed persons, the estimated duration and level of exposure, and the circumstances. This record must be kept for 40 years and is essential for any future health claims.
