This information sheet provides advice for people with management or control of a workplace where soil is contaminated with asbestos containing material (ACM) and those involved in inspecting, removing, managing or disposing of asbestos contaminated soils at workplaces.
A workplace is any location where a business or undertaking carries out work and includes any place where a worker goes, or is likely to be. It includes residential premises when paid work is occurring at that site.
This information sheet deals with soils that are contaminated with ACM. It does not cover naturally occurring asbestos at a workplace.
