The obligation
Licensed removalists must act on control monitoring results, and Class A removal areas need a clearance inspection by an independent licensed asbestos assessor.
Where control monitoring shows respirable asbestos fibre levels exceed the Code's action levels, action must be taken immediately, regardless of whether removal has commenced. At 0.01 to 0.02 fibres/mL, the Code requires control measures to be reviewed, the cause investigated and controls implemented; above 0.02 fibres/mL, removal work must stop.
