Managing asbestos in
buildings is the huge responsibility of property owners and businesses,
particularly in Sydney and throughout New South Wales (NSW). Under strict
regulations, compliance is through an Asbestos Management Plan Sydney (AMP) and
Remedial Action Plan (RAP), both legally and also to ensure health and
environment health and safety.
What
is an Asbestos Management Plan?
An Asbestos Management Plan
Sydney is a detailed document whose purpose includes identification,
management, and mitigation of asbestos risks at a property. It contains
information describing the location of ACMs, risk assessments, and maintenance
or removal procedures. Sydney poses a challenge because most of the houses are
old. A well-drafted AMP will ensure compliance with WHS regulations while
protecting individuals within a building from being exposed.
Important
Elements of an AMP
● ACMs
Identification and status
● Measures
to minimize disturbance
● Monitoring
and re-evaluation schedule
Once contamination,
including the presence of asbestos, presents a health or environmental risk, a
RAP is prepared. This document describes what is necessary to remediate the
site so that it will be safe and compliant with safety and environmental
standards. In NSW, where extensive urban development is being undertaken, RAPs
are a requirement whenever a project addresses contaminated land or demolition.
Remedial
Action Plan NSW
Key
elements of a RAP
● Assessment
of contaminants
● Strategy
for safe removal or containment of asbestos
● Post-remediation
validation and monitoring
