8. Write your asbestos management plan

Before arranging for any work to be done you should start by writing an 'asbestos management plan'. This should include:

• who is responsible for managing asbestos;
• the asbestos register you have just made;
• plans for work on asbestos materials;
• the schedule for monitoring the materials' condition; and
• telling people about your decisions.
