About this SWMS for Working with Asbestos

Asbestos work can be a very dangerous job and workers must take all the proper safety precautions to remain safe. The SWMS outlines how employers can safely manage asbestos related work to enable a safe and healthy work environment for workers.

Note: A person conducting a business or undertaking at a workplace must ensure that exposure of a person at the workplace to asbestos containing materials (ACM) is eliminated so far as is reasonably practicable or if not reasonably practicable, to eliminate exposure to airborne asbestos, the exposure must be minimised so far as is reasonably practicable.
