An asbestos management plan details the location, condition and risk of any Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM’s) within the premises and is used to manage the asbestos risk by ensuring that, if followed as far as reasonably practicable, no one can come to any harm from asbestos on the premises.

An asbestos management plan is a working document that needs to be immediately available to anyone that needs to know (e.g contractors, workers, residents etc) the details contained within it. It is a legal requirement of Regulation under the Control of Asbestos Regulations (CAR 2012). It details the measures and procedures which are to be taken for managing the risk, namely:

to monitor the condition of ACM’s
to ensure ACM’s are properly maintained and where necessary safely removed
to ensure that information about the location and condition of any ACM is made available to any person liable to disturb it, including the emergency services
to ensure the control measures specified are implemented and recorded

Every asbestos management plan will require reviewing and revising at regular intervals and forthwith if there is any reason to suspect that the plan is no longer valid or there has been significant change in the premises to which the plan relates.
