Asbestos Management Plans
An asbestos management plan helps owners of workplaces comply with asbestos prohibitions and to prevent exposure to airborne asbestos fibres.
The asbestos management plan will set out clear aims, stating what is going to be done, when it is going to be done, and how it is going to be done.
It will include:
- The buildings register of ACM
- Details of maintenance or service work on the ACM including:
- Who performed the work.
- The dates it was done.
- The scope of the work.
- Any clearance certificates.
- How people at risk are informed about ACM in the workplace, the risks they pose and the control measures in place.
- Decisions about management options and the reasons for these decisions.
- A timetable for action, including priorities and dates for reviewing risk assessments and specific circumstances that may affect the timetable.
- Monitoring arrangements.
- The responsibilities of people involved in the plan.
- Training arrangements for workers and contractors.
- A procedure for reviewing and updating the management plan and the register of ACM, including a timetable.
- Safe work methods.
