Purpose
To regulate the identification, assessment, management, and safe removal of asbestos in workplaces and buildings to prevent exposure and related health risks.
Asbestos Management Plan
(AMP)
A formal Asbestos Management Plan
must be developed if any ACMs are present.
The AMP must include risk assessments, control measures, procedures for maintenance or removal, and
emergency protocols.
Inventory of Asbestos-
Containing Materials (ACMs)
Every employer or building owner must identify
and compile an inventory of all asbestos-
containing materials (ACMs) present in
buildings or structures under their control.
An asbestos inventory must be reviewed
and kept up to date, and made
available upon request.
Risk Assessments
Baseline risk assessments must
be conducted by a competent person
to determine the risk of exposure
to asbestos.
Where necessary, a detailed
exposure risk assessment
must be performed.
