Employees would cease work on discovering any Hazmat not identified in the report and then inform
their supervisor who would arrange for the appropriate action to be taken.
General procedures for hazardous materials removal (including asbestos) will usually be carried-out as
follows, but often specific details and procedures will be developed upon material identification. Detailed
work method statements will be produced identifying processors such as:
The area to be decontaminated to be bunted off at a minimum 10 meter radius
Asbestos warning signage to be erected to inform people of the nature of the work being carried out
‘No unauthorized access’ signage to be erected
Water points to be established
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) including but not limited to Hard Hat, Safety Boots,
Disposable Coveralls, Gloves, Masks and Glasses to be worn at all times when in the Hazmat
removal zone
All personnel involved in the removal of asbestos to have attended and completed the approved
Work cover courses and to be the holders of valid, Work Cover approved asbestos removal
licenses
Tools and equipment appropriate to the type of asbestos containing material to be used for its
removal in order to minimize the disturbance of the material thus preventing the release of
fibers
Where appropriate, water to be used to keep the material slightly damp thus minimizing the
chances of dust and fibers being released
All asbestos waste to be wrapped in 200µm plastic and tightly secured
All asbestos waste to be removed from site and disposed at a licensed EPA asbestos disposal
facility
Asbestos waste to be removed at the end of each shift. Stockpiling of asbestos will not be
permitted
Clearance certificates to be provided on completion of Hazmat Removal.
The protection of all council infrastructure including trees, overhead cables, and existing services will
be managed to ensure that all infrastructure is maintained, and in the same condition at the completion
of the project.
The following protection procedure will be adopted:
Ensure all existing services are identified, and terminated or diverted as appropriate
Ensure movement or placement of construction plant does not damage infrastructure
At the beginning of construction, we will advise adjoining and nearby properties of
commencement date, possible disruptions and approximate construction time.
Site Remediation and Hazardous Materials
Consultant survey works have already been carried out to establish existing site conditions and to
identify any remediation works that may be required. As hazardous materials have already been
identified procedures and principles have been developed. These procedures and principles will be
consistent for expected and unexpected hazardous materials. They are outlined below:
Notify client and project stakeholders
Develop a Remediation Management Plan
Advise the client of efficient solutions according to industry best practice standards
Agree strategy and commence documentation of DSA (Disruption Shutdown Applications)
Communicate DSA to all stakeholders
Validation of Remediation Action Plan upon completion of hazardous material removal.
Hazardous substances supplied to the project will be approved for use and accompanied by a current
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). All hazardous substances will be registered, correctly stored,
decanted, used and disposed in accordance with the MSDS and regulatory requirements. Employees
will be trained in the Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) based on the MSDS and provided with the
appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
