Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) have been managed in buildings for decades, but questions remain about how long these materials can realistically remain in place. This session explores the true lifespan of ACMs, the factors that accelerate their deterioration, and what this means for duty holders navigating current regulations.

The session also examines why the industry is beginning to shift from long-term management strategies toward structured elimination plans — and how this transition aligns with existing legal requirements.

What Adam will cover:

• How different asbestos-containing materials age and deteriorate
• The impact of moss, lichen and environmental exposure on asbestos cement
• When air monitoring supports effective risk management
• The duty to manage and its practical implications
• Why organisations are moving toward asbestos elimination plans

What you’ll learn:

• A clearer understanding of ACM lifespan and degradation
• Insight into environmental factors that accelerate deterioration
• Practical awareness of how air monitoring informs decisions
• Stronger grasp of regulatory duties and compliance expectations
• An informed view of how elimination planning aligns with current regulations

Professionals responsible for managing asbestos risks in buildings will benefit most from this session, including duty holders, building owners, facilities and estate managers, health and safety practitioners, and surveyors involved in compliance or long-term asset planning. It’s also well suited to anyone who plays a role in interpreting asbestos regulations or making strategic decisions about whether to maintain, monitor, or remove asbestos-containing materials over time.
