Abstract |
This booklet provides guidance on the management of asbestos in workplace buildings. The hazards of asbestos, people at risk and materials where asbestos may be found in buildings are outlined. Management of asbestos involves various steps: knowledge of the building (location of the asbestos, form of the asbestos, assessing its condition, type of asbestos); decision and action (leaving asbestos in place, repair or removal). Legal requirements for asbestos disposal are highlighted and the need to inform workers and contractors is emphasized. Replaces CIS 96-1435. |
