Did you know that asbestos, also known as asbestos, is a hazardous material that can have serious consequences for human health and the environment? At agforest, we are committed to the conservation and responsible use of natural resources, and that includes the proper management of asbestos.
The asbestos census and the asbestos calendar are actions related to the identification and management of asbestos in buildings and structures. Today, we will tell you about the importance of both tools and what each of them is used for:
Asbestos census for planning purposes
The asbestos census is a detailed inventory of the presence of asbestos-containing materials in a building or facility. Asbestos is a fibrous mineral that was used in construction because of its heat and fire resistant properties. However, it has been found that exposure to asbestos can be harmful to health.
This tool allows the identification and recording of the location, type and condition of asbestos-containing materials in a building, which aids in the proper management of these materials and minimizes the health risk to the people occupying the space.
What is the asbestos calendar
This is a structured action plan for safely handling and removing asbestos-containing materials from a building or facility. Since the presence of asbestos can be hazardous, it is essential to carry out appropriate measures to minimize the risk of exposure.
The asbestos schedule establishes a set of steps and timelines for the identification, assessment, monitoring, removal or encapsulation of asbestos-containing materials in a building. This helps to ensure that appropriate action is taken and to comply with regulations and standards related to asbestos management.
In Spain, Law 7/2022, of April 8, on waste and contaminated soils for a circular economy, requires that, within one year of its entry into force, municipalities must draw up a census of facilities and sites with asbestos, including a timetable for their removal.
What are the advantages of having an asbestos census and schedule?
- Accurate Identification: identification of areas where asbestos is found on your property, allowing you to make informed decisions.
- Strategic Planning: A calendar helps you schedule and carry out safe asbestos removal, minimizing disruptions and risks.
- Regulatory Compliance: Complying with regulations and legal requirements is essential to avoid fines and legal problems.
- Health Protection: Proper asbestos removal protects the health of people and the environment in general.
