Key Aspects of an AMP
There are various aspects to an AMP.
These include the following:
Identification and Assessment
The AMP includes a detailed inventory of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) present. It identifies the location, type, and condition of ACMs. Regular inspections and assessments ensure the accuracy of this information.
Risk Assessment
The plan evaluates the risk level associated with each ACM and considers the likelihood of disturbance and potential asbestos exposure. Management actions focus on areas identified as high-risk.
Control Measures
The AMP outlines specific control measures to minimise asbestos exposure. These measures may include encapsulation, removal, or ongoing monitoring. We emphasise proper handling during maintenance, renovation, and demolition.
Communication and Training
The plan ensures that relevant personnel (including contractors) know about asbestos risks. Training programs cover safe work practices, emergency procedures, and proper handling of ACMs.
Record Keeping and Reporting
The AMP maintains records of inspections, assessments, and control measures. We have established incident reporting procedures for any asbestos-related events.
Legal Compliance
Depending on local regulations, an AMP may be legally mandated for certain properties. Compliance ensures adherence to health and safety standards.
An Asbestos Management Plan is necessary. It keeps people healthy and spaces safe where asbestos is present.
