If your building was built before 2003, you may have asbestos on-site — and without a compliant Asbestos Management Plan (AMP), you could be breaking the law.
At Integrated Environmental Pty Ltd, we often assist property owners, facility managers, schools, and councils in preparing and maintaining Asbestos Management Plans. These documents aren’t just a “tick-the-box” requirement — they’re a critical tool for protecting health, ensuring compliance, and safely managing asbestos risks.
What Is an Asbestos Management Plan?
An Asbestos Management Plan (AMP) is a legally required document under the Work Health and Safety (WHS) Regulations. It outlines how asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in a workplace will be identified, managed, and monitored to prevent fibre exposure.
The AMP must be accessible to workers, contractors, and visitors, and updated every 5 years (or sooner if ACMs are disturbed, removed, or new asbestos is identified).
Why It Matters
Without an AMP, property managers and employers face:
- Legal penalties for non-compliance with WHS Regulations
- Increased health risks for occupants and contractors
- Delays in maintenance or refurbishment projects
- Potential liability claims if asbestos exposure occurs
Remember: Ignorance is not a defence. If asbestos is present, you must manage it properly.
What Does an AMP Include?
A compliant AMP prepared by Integrated Environmental covers:
- Asbestos Register – A record of all identified or assumed asbestos in the building, including condition and location.
- Risk Assessment – Evaluation of the potential for asbestos fibres to be released.
- Control Measures – Procedures to safely manage ACMs (e.g. encapsulation, sealing, removal strategies).
- Emergency Procedures – Steps to take if asbestos is accidentally disturbed.
- Training & Communication – Ensuring workers and contractors are aware of asbestos risks and controls.
- Review Schedule – Ongoing monitoring and plan updates.
