Broad study guidance addressed primarily to employers, contract managers, site agents, safety representatives and self-employed contractors involved in maintaining buildings and associated plant. Provides critical advice on what those responsible must do to ensure the health and safety of all maintenance workers who may encounter asbestos during routine duties.
Pivotal to the whole document is an intensively-labelled cross-section of a typical building showing the common asbestos hazards that may lurk in eight key zones, including roof spaces, interior walls and ceilings. Thereafter, the publication is extensively illustrated with colour photographs corresponding to these individually identified hazards showing their likely pictorial context. Explores the full legal requirements and emergency call-out procedures. Also provides a range of task guidance sheets.
