Every figure, with its source

One row per published figure: the figure as the source's own page publishes it, the page, and the day it was read. A figure that is not on a page we read is not on this one.

The sentence each figure was read from (4)
  • The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, read 2026-09-11: the application was made at least 28 days before the date from which the licence is to run, or such shorter period as the Executive may allow.
  • Licensable work with asbestos - HSE, read 2026-10-11: All licensable work must be notified to the appropriate enforcing authority using the ASB5 form at least 14 days before the work starts.
  • Non-licensed work with asbestos - HSE, read 2026-10-24: To be exempt from needing a licence the work must be: Sporadic and of low intensity - to be considered sporadic and of low intensity the concentration of asbestos in the air should not exceed 0.6f/cm3 measured over 10 minutes
  • Licensable work with asbestos - HSE, read 2026-10-11: work on asbestos insulating board or asbestos insulation for which the risk assessment demonstrates it is not short duration work, for example: it will take no more than 2 hours in any 7-day period, and no person works for more than 1 hour in that 2-hour period

10 named sources were read in full on the dates shown and print no usable figure. They are counted, never filled in.

Methodology

Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through our fetch service on the date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2).

3 of the 13 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 10 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 0 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere.

The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source in day (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 2 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded.

The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): one row per task a contractor actually does to an asbestos cement roof - clean, repair, remove intact, remove broken, overclad, dispose - against the regime it falls into (non-licensed, notifiable non-licensed, licensable) with the regulation and the HSE task sheet that puts it there, the notice period, the medical and record duties, and the consignment-note charge; joined to the cost index so the page that quotes a strip-and-re-sheet rate states the regime that rate assumes.

Quoted verbatim from the instrument or the regulator with its effective date; a contractor's restatement is never the source.

2 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
