Regulation 18 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012) outlines specific requirements for employers in relation to designated areas. According to this regulation: Asbestos Area Designation: Employers are required to designate any area where work under their control is carried out as an "asbestos area," provided that employees in that area could potentially be exposed to asbestos. Respirator Zone Designation: If the risk assessment cannot clearly demonstrate that the control limit will not be exceeded, the area must be designated as a "respirator zone." Clear Demarcation and Identification: It is mandatory to clearly and separately demarcate and identify asbestos areas and respirator zones. Notices in these areas must indicate: Whether the area is designated as an asbestos area or a respirator zone, or both. In the case of a respirator zone, that entering it exposes employees to the risk of exceeding the control limit, and wearing respiratory protective equipment is necessary.
