What you do
You put up signs and barriers around the work area, choose your protective equipment and remove asbestos in ways that keep fibres out of the air. You wet the asbestos, then wrap or seal it in labelled bags or bins. You clean the work area, your tools and yourself. Every step follows the asbestos removal control plan.
