All asbestos containing materials should have been identified by surveys; if the presence of ACMs is known (as a result of surveys and subsequent enquiries) these shall be made known at site inductions. Contractors are required to familiarise themselves with the contents of associated surveys where it is expected that their works could potentially interfere with these ACMs.
If at any time a material is encountered or disturbed which is suspected to contain asbestos, work must be suspended and this should be reported to a McLaughlin & Harvey site manager immediately.
Only licensed asbestos contractors may carry out work with notifiable asbestos containing materials.
Contractors must comply with the project / client procedures in place to ensure that no-one is subjected to any risk from working with asbestos.
