Managing my asbestos

6. Determining priorities for action

Which materials need action first?

For each entry in your asbestos register you need a material score and a priority score.

Write the scores for each asbestos material in your asbestos register. You may also want to print the results page for each material for your records.

The highest priority score shows which work to carry out first.

If two items have the same priority score, go by the higher material score. In the example above that means the oven!
