Eight steps to managing asbestos
1. Know where it is 2. Record where it is 3. Complete a risk assessment 4. Create a management plan 5. Planning to work on asbestos-
containing materials (ACMs) 6. Inform those who are potentially
exposed 7. Train workers 8. Investigate asbestos incidents

Asbestos removal
‾ It is strongly advised to have the work carried out by a specialist contractor
‾ The area where such work will be undertaken is enclosed and completely sealed
‾ Work should be done using methods that minimise the release of asbestos fibres into the air, e.g. using wet injection on lagging
‾ Workers must wear suitable PPE ‾ Asbestos waste should be labelled, packaged
and disposed of according to the relevant national legislation.
‾ Once work is complete, the site needs to be inspected by a competent asbestos analyst

Air monitoring
‾ Air monitoring must be completed regularly around enclosures during asbestos removal
‾ Air monitoring can also be used when it is suspected that an ACM has been damaged

When workers are exposed
− Workers will obviously be worried when they have been exposed to breathing in asbestos fibres
− It is exposure to high concentrations and for long periods of time that people are then at most risk.
− Workers who are exposed by accidental damage will need reassurance that they will be safe.
