Hazardous materials
like asbestos in New South Wales (NSW) would require specific documents and
action plans to protect both property occupants and his workers. Some of these
key documents are the Remedial Action Plan NSW and the Asbestos
Management Plan Sydney.
What
is a Remedial Action Plan for NSW?
A Remedial Action
Plan NSW is the instrument that describes the required steps to remediate
environmental contamination on the site. Be it from contaminated soil,
groundwater pollution, or residual hazardous substances, it is a detailed
remediation strategy for achieving compliance with NSW's environmental
regulations. This document is often a prerequisite for granting approval to
continue with further development or construction, and at times determines the
condition of the site for future use.
The important
elements of a RAP include:
● Result
of site investigation
● Risk
assessments
● Remediation
goals and methods
●
Health and safety measures
Steps
for ongoing monitoring and validation process
In New South Wales,
the development of a RAP usually becomes necessary when any site has been declared
by the planning directions or by EPA guidelines to be contaminated land.
Without a proper RAP, a project could be delayed, or even come to a halt, as it
may be found in breach of regulatory compliance.
Sustainable property
managers, contractors, or business owners in Sydney must possess a compliant
AMP not just legally, but also in duty of care to workers and occupants.
As in the Remedial
Action Plan NSW, It is a ticket to compliance with very
strict government systems both in the state and in the federal. It absorbs
liability in a very huge way. Most importantly, it creates a much safer
environment to work in for everyone concerned.
Engaging qualified
environmental consultants to prepare these Plans helps ensure accuracy and
compliance with the regulations while bringing the peace of mind associated
with having done everything possible to ensure safety. Whether you are
developing a site or maintaining a commercial property, place these Plans at
the very top of your priority list when it comes to putting together a risk
management strategy.
