Managing my asbestos - A step by step guide



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.

  • If the asbestos material is in good condition, use a score of 1 for both material and priority.
  • If it is not in good condition use the 'Material and priority scoring tool' to get material and priority scores.

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.

Material and priority scoring tool

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.

Example completed asbestos register

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!
