Reasons to remove and dispose of asbestos
- If you don't manage asbestos in your premises, you could be putting your employees' and other peoples' health at risk.
- Exposure to asbestos occurs when you or others disturb it, releasing fibres into the air we breathe.
- Asbestos in good condition should be left in place and managed.
- Disposal & removal of asbestos at work requires a licence, but some minor work on asbestos can be done without a licence if the correct precautions are followed.
- Regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos at Work Regulations is a duty to manage, not a duty to survey.
- You don't always have to do a survey, but you do have to manage your asbestos-containing materials (ACMs).
- A bad asbestos survey is worse than not carrying out a asbestos survey.
- Managing asbestos means maintaining your (ACMs) in good condition to protect two groups of people:
- those who work on the fabric of the building e.g. electricians,
plumbers etc; and
- those who work in the building (e.g. plant and office workers, cleaners etc) who may come into contact or work near damaged or deteriorated ACMs.
- Damaged or deteriorated ACMs should be repaired, removed or isolated until remedial action can be taken.
- Your Asbestos Management Plan:
- - Is your way of ensuring that your employees or others do not disturb your ACMs;
- - Can take many forms and need not be complex, but it does need to be effective.
