Dear Sir or Madam,
On 18 December 2025, the Commission has adopted the “Guidelines for managing asbestos related health and safety risks at work” to help national authorities, employers and workers implement the revised Directive 2009/148/EC on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to asbestos at work:
The unit C2 Health and Safety at Work of DG Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion has prepared these guidelines in close cooperation with the contractor RPA Europe Prague. This guide was also developed with the extensive involvement of stakeholders such as you, and we would really like to thank you for actively participating in this project or showing interest in it. The consultation included for example ten online workshops with more than 800 participants and 20 pilot discussions on the draft guide including nine site visits.
More than 50 photos of asbestos management in real life situations, many of which have been taken in close cooperation with stakeholders during on-site visits, form an integral part of the document. Furthermore, existing good practices of asbestos management on the level of the member states are made available to the reader by means of more than 40 cases studies and other practical examples. The document thus shows a holistic and realistic picture of asbestos management in the EU and provides readers with structured guidance on how to deal with asbestos.
We would really appreciate if you could help to disseminate these guidelines further.
Kind regards,
EMPL C2 unit
