1. Introduction

The Asbestos Management Plan was compiled from data derived from the Asbestos
Management Survey carried out by David Young and Yu Zhang on 26/03/2019.

All  internal  areas  were  inspected  excluding  Wall  Voids,  Ceiling  Voids  and  beneath
Carpets  and  Floor  Coverings  and  behind  concrete/plasterboard  to  the  Building  were
accessed and inspected as far as is reasonably practicable.

This Asbestos Management Plan sets out the actions to be taken within the premises, to
manage Asbestos and Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM’s) in accordance with the Health
and Safety at Work (Asbestos) Regulations 2016.
Asbestos is a microscopic mineral fibre that is so small that it can’t be seen with the naked
eye. Once disturbed, fibres can remain in the air for hours. If fibres are inhaled, they can
cause serious health hazards which might not become apparent for years.

Note: Asbestos should only be disturbed or maintained by specialist personnel, who will be
licensed contractors, working under strictly controlled conditions.

5  Emergency Procedures
Where asbestos containing materials (ACMs) have been damaged, or materials suspected to
be  Asbestos  are  seen  to  be  damaged  or  have  deterioration  the  appointed  Asbestos
representative will instigate the emergency procedure below:
•  Secure the area affected ensuring no access is permitted (signage  will be displayed,
and barriers erected where appropriate);
•  Contact the Health & Safety team who can provide advice and guidance as necessary.
•  Consider  the  need  for  further  inspection,  air  monitoring,  and  arrangement  and
management of any associated remedial works required;
•  Maintain controlled access to the area until formal clearance has been confirmed; and
•  Maintain  effective  communication  with  all  staff  and  other  relevant  parties  providing
updates as necessary to ensure the access arrangements are not breached.

6  Training and Competency
For workers carrying out work involving asbestos, include information about:
-
Training that has been and will be provided to workers;
-
Roles and responsibilities of the workers carrying out work involving asbestos; and
-
Any health monitoring that has been or will be undertaken.

  7 Air Monitoring and Clearance
All air monitoring results and clearance certificates should be appended to this Asbestos
Management Plan.

10. Summary
•  Several  areas  on  this  level  had  Carpet  Tiles  lifted  and  no  asbestos
materials were present but other areas of carpet within Level 1 could not
be  accessed  due  to  rooms  being  occupied  so  we  have  Presumed
Asbestos Floor Tiles or Adhesives to be present until proven otherwise
•  The  cavities  in  the  partition  walls  were  unable  to  be  accessed  due  to
occupied rooms so we have presumed them to contain asbestos material
until proven otherwise.
•  The  Ceiling  Voids  were  unable  to  be  accessed  due  to  rooms  being
occupied so we have presumed them to contain asbestos materials until
proven otherwise.

No  refurbishment  works  should  take  place  within  the  property  without  a  fully
compliant R & D Survey

Appendix A

(B) Record of contractors’ inspection of asbestos report

This sheet should be signed by all those carrying out work on the premises (including volunteers, cleaners and staff). Persons signing this
sheet are signing to say that they have seen the asbestos management plan and checked whether there is any known or presumed asbestos in
the area in which they will be working.

If the contractor encounters suspected asbestos containing materials (ACM) that have not been previously identified they will immediately stop
work, inform the Companies appointed Asbestos representative and seek their further instructions.

Note: The asbestos survey was a Management Survey so there is a possibility that there may be further ACM which were inaccessible at the
time of the survey.
