Carters provide tools to assist clients in meeting
their internal management compliance
obligations under the regulations.
Asbestos Management Policy
The aim of the Asbestos Management Policy
is to enable the effective management of
all hazards associated with asbestos through a structured program
that eliminates or
minimises exposure in accordance with legislative requirements.
Policies are to be established, adhered to and
recorded in the Asbestos Register to
control all asbestos and prevent exposure of any person to that
asbestos, ensuring
a safe working environment is established and maintained.
Carters can provide a complete Asbestos Management
Policy framework adapted to
your particular organisation structure and business requirements.
The Asbestos Audit
is the first step.
Hazard Management Plan
From the survey / inspection findings, and
using OHS&W guidelines, recommendations
are made to minimise the possible health risks due to exposure to
asbestos in the
workplace. Recommendations vary considerably according to the degree
of hazard.
This information is then used to compile and implement
an Asbestos Hazard Management
Plan, which includes understanding and awareness of the obligations,
limitations,
regulations, and responsibilities under the OHS&W Act. Advice
on the use of caution
signs to warn of the presence of asbestos is incorporated into the
recommendations.
It should be noted that the Hazard Management
Plan proposals are recommendations
only and that implementation of the Hazard Management Plan is the
responsibility of
the building owner / manager.
Carters provide a FREE
Online
Induction Training package which explains all of the terms,
conditions, obligations, regulations and limitations, ensuring both
an awareness and understanding of the responsibilities of the person(s)
in charge of the Asbestos Register(s).
