Asbestos Safety - Working in Roofs Information:
The Asbestos Safety - Working in Roofs Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) is a comprehensive 11 page procedure.
This SMWS covers conducting work inside the roof space of an existing structure where non-friable asbestos containing material (ACM) is present. This SWMS does NOT cover working around friable asbestos (such as pipe lagging and/or insulation).
The Asbestos Safety - Working in Roofs procedure is ready to use and is not a blank template. Simply add your company details, ABN, and include any site specific details or risks and make it specific to the task at hand. It is then ready for printing and to be incorporated as part of your overall OHS System.
The Asbestos Safety - Working in Roofs Work Method Statement can be used as part of your OHS inductions, for Tool box talks or tender applications.
Safety Notes
Exposure to Asbestos can lead to serious illness and fatality from mesothelioma, asbestosis and lung cancer. An exposure standard exists for asbestos – being 0.1 fibres per ml of air (in a persons breathing zone averaged over 8 hours).
Prohibitions on Asbestos:
- Unlicensed removal of under 10 sq m of ACM does not include friable asbestos
- High pressure air or gases must not be used on or near ACM
- High power tools must not be used (unless dust is able to be totally captured and exposure remains half of the exposure standard)
Ensure travel path will not damage utilities (gas, telecommunication, electrical, water, sewerage systems), or bridges, rail, or other property.
Definitions:
- Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) means any material, object, product or debris that contains asbestos.
- Non-Friable Asbestos means asbestos-containing material which, when dry, does not become crumbled, pulverised or reduced to powder by hand pressure. Common examples: cement sheeting, ceiling tiles, vinyl tiles.
