An Asbestos Management Plan (AMP) is a site-specific document describing the procedures to be followed when asbestos is identified in the workplace. It is an invaluable tool for effectively managing the risks posed by asbestos in the workplace, and aims to ensure full compliance with regulatory requirements at all stages.

The AMP must clearly outline the procedures to be followed in the event that asbestos is identified at the site, including:

• What should be done;
• When it should be done;
• How it should be done; and
• Whose responsibility it is.
