Asbestos

Old boards, lagging and gaskets: survey first, leave it alone, use approved removers.

Key points

  • Before building works on a building completed before 1991, get a survey report from a competent person. No report, no start.
  • Only an MOM-approved asbestos-removal contractor may remove asbestos. They notify MOM at least 7 days before work starts.
  • If you find material you think is asbestos, stop work, keep people out and report it. Do not sweep, drill or break it.
  • Workers on asbestos jobs need yearly training, a fit-tested respirator, disposable coveralls and regular medical examinations.
