Asbestos Management Plans and Unexpected Finds Protocols
Ensuring Comprehensive Asbestos Management
Asbestos management is critical for maintaining a safe environment in any property, whether commercial, government, or residential. Effective management involves not only identifying and assessing asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) but also implementing comprehensive plans and protocols to handle both known and unexpected asbestos finds.
WHAT IS AN ASBESTOS management plan?
An Asbestos Management Plan (AMP) is a documented plan that outlines how asbestos, and ACMs will be managed in a property. This includes procedures for maintaining and monitoring ACMs, as well as protocols for dealing with incidents and emergencies.
