Asbestos Register
A documented record of all known and presumed asbestos-containing materials in a building, including location, type, condition, and assessment results. The register must be maintained and updated as materials are removed or conditions change. It serves as a key tool for managing asbestos risks and must be made available to anyone who might disturb the materials.
Risk Assessment
A systematic evaluation of the potential for asbestos exposure based on material type, condition, location, accessibility, and likelihood of disturbance. Risk assessments assign priority ratings to ACMs to determine appropriate management actions. High-risk materials may require immediate removal, while low-risk materials may be managed in place with regular monitoring and maintenance.
