What does a maintenance program for ACBM typically include?

A maintenance program for Asbestos-Containing Building Materials (ACBM) is focused on ensuring the safe management and control of asbestos materials in a building. This program usually includes regular monitoring and mitigation practices to identify any changes in the condition of ACBM, assess potential risks, and implement actions to minimize exposure to asbestos fibers. Regular monitoring allows for the detection of deterioration or damage to asbestos materials, ensuring they are managed appropriately to protect the health and safety of building occupants.

While emergency procedures for chemical spills, employee safety training workshops, and weekly site inspections are important aspects of overall safety and training programs, they do not specifically encapsulate the core objective of managing ACBM effectively. The focus of the maintenance program is to ensure ongoing safety related to asbestos, which is best addressed through consistent monitoring and mitigation strategies.
