The
asbestos register is a vital source of information that professionals
always access before taking up any asbestos removal project. The
Workplace Health and Safety Regulations 2008 stipulates that an
asbestos register must be accessible for all workplace buildings that
were built earlier than 1st January 1990. Further, the only buildings
that are exempt from having such a register must have been built
after 31st December 2003, that have no identified asbestos and have
no intermittent asbestos presence.
The
Asbestos Register includes the following details:
-
Any asbestos or ACM (asbestos containing materials) identified within the workplace ought to be fully recorded. Also, the record must indicate any asbestos or ACM that may be temporarily present within the workplace. Such a record must clearly state the date when identification was made, in addition to the location, type and condition. This is a vital aspect since friable products (asbestos containing material in powder form) need greater precautionary measures during asbestos removal, unlike non-friable products (asbestos contain products in solid form).
-
In case no asbestos or ACM has been identified within the workplace, this must also be indicated. When doing so, you must also be sure that there's no likelihood of intermittent presence of such substances.
Moreover,
reviewing the asbestos register is mandatory and there exist certain
conditions which will also makes necessary a revision of such a
document. These conditions include:
-
A review of the asbestos management plan.
-
Identification of further ACM or asbestos within the workplace.
-
Any action relating to existing asbestos within the workplace, that includes: removal, disturbance, sealing or enclosure.
It
is the responsibility of anyone having management or control within
the workplace to prepare and maintain an asbestos register. This is
not just a one-time process: rather it must be regularly updated. The
Work Health and Safety Regulation provides applicable penalties if
there is failure to adhere to this requirement.
There
are two options for the earth that get collected from the excavation
for an in-ground swimming pool. It can be either used around the site
for landscaping or it can be carted off-site. If you are going to
keep all the earth that the Sydney Pool Excavation service providers
dig up, then the best way is to make sure that the pool excavation
is carried out without wasting the earth that is excavated. For this,
the first step the pool excavators do is to strip off the topsoil
from the pool excavation area, the paved area around the pool and
stockpile the topsoil and leave it there while the pool is being
built. Next, the Sydney Pool Excavation service providers spread and
level the sub-soil from the pool excavation and spread and level the
top-soil from the stockpile over the previously leveled sub-soil for
landscaping around the pool that is built.
