Asbestos Management Plans NZ
Removal is not always the immediate answer. When asbestos-containing material remains in a workplace, an asbestos management plan helps the person conducting a business or undertaking record what is present, its condition, how exposure will be prevented and when the information will be reviewed. PropertyHelp can help assemble practical site information and removal priorities, with specialist advice arranged where the scope requires it.
WHAT WE CAN ASSESS
Removal planned around the property.
Every asbestos project needs a scope based on the identified material, its condition and the work that will disturb it. PropertyHelp reviews the available survey information and confirms whether the proposed work is suitable for a Class B removal method.
OUR APPROACH
A controlled process from planning to disposal.
Check locations and condition
Identified materials, accessibility and potential disturbance during normal work are reviewed.
Set controls and actions
The plan records responsibilities, labelling or access controls, contractor communication, monitoring and removal priorities.
Keep the plan current
Review points are set for changes, deterioration, incidents, refurbishment and completed removal work.
SITE-SPECIFIC DETAILS
What can affect the job.
Access, material condition, height, neighbouring properties and other trades can change the controls and programme. We identify these issues before work starts and explain what is included in the quotation.
- A management plan relies on an asbestos survey and register suited to the site
- Workers and contractors must be able to access relevant information
- The plan should be reviewed when circumstances change and at the required interval
- A plan does not replace removal controls when asbestos will be disturbed
COMMON QUESTIONS
Helpful answers before you begin.
Who needs an asbestos management plan?
Workplaces with known or reasonably likely asbestos need to consider the applicable New Zealand asbestos-management duties. The exact requirement depends on the premises and control of the workplace.
Is a management plan the same as an asbestos register?
No. The register records identified or assumed asbestos. The management plan explains how those materials, risks, responsibilities and review actions will be managed.
Does every asbestos material need immediate removal?
Not necessarily. Sound material may sometimes be managed in place, but planned work, condition and exposure risk must be considered and documented.
Important: Do not drill, sand, cut, scrape or break suspected asbestos. If material is damaged, keep people away and seek competent advice.
