Planning for the removal of ACM
Planning requirements for the removal of ACM depend on:
- the specific asbestos removal task
- the type, location, quantity and condition of ACM to be removed
- whether there are workers or other people nearby.
Asbestos removalists must develop a site-specific asbestos removal control plan before starting any asbestos removal.
A control plan must include information on how identification, preparation, removal, decontamination and waste disposal will be done. More information on the components that a control plan must address is available in section 8.1 of the asbestos removal code (non-Queensland Government link).Other planning that must be done by the asbestos removalist include:
- emergency plans
- planning for ACM removal from hot surfaces
- planning for decontamination.
Information on these plans can be found in sections 8.2, 8.3 and 8.4 of the asbestos removal code (non-Queensland Government link).
