Summary by the Danish Parliament (in Danish)
Forslaget har til formål at tydeliggøre Sikkerhedsstyrelsens tilsynsforpligtelser efter arbejdsmiljøloven i forhold til autorisationsordningen for nedrivning af asbest, så forpligtelserne i forhold til tilsyn fremgår direkte af loven. Derudover tilføjes der med forslaget en reference til dele af EU’s asbestdirektiv i fodnoten til arbejdsmiljølovens titel. Hermed opfyldes direktivets krav om, at love, der gennemfører direktivet, skal ledsages af en henvisning til direktivet.
