| Abstract |
This guidance tells you where you are most likely to find asbestos and how to protect yourself when working with it. It contains a range of task guidance sheets and equipment and method guidance sheets which describe how the work should be carried out, what equipment to use and how to use it. It will be particularly useful for anyone involved in building maintenance, repair or refurbishment work, such as plumbers, carpenters and electricians. It will also be useful to other workers, not normally associated with the building trade; for example computer installers, cabling installers, fire alarm installers and telecommunications engineers may also disturb asbestos during their work. Safety representatives will also find this guidance useful. Contents: Introduction; What does this guidance tell you and who is it for?; What is asbestos?; How does asbestos get into the body?; Why is asbestos dangerous?; Where is asbestos found in buildings?; How do I know if I am at risk?; What should those in charge of the job do?; What the law requires; What can I do to protect myself? Waste disposal; Task guidance sheets and equipment and method guidance sheets; Further information. |
