The initial drivers for initiating the aforementioned and maintaining the effective management of asbestos containing materials identified on site should be detailed in a user friendly framework document that is periodically reviewed and is typically referred to as the client”s Asbestos Policy.
The client”s Asbestos Policy for Managing Asbestos should include details on the following:
