After the job
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
Some practical advice:
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Things not to do
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
