ARCP

An Asbestos Removal Control Plan (ARCP) is a site-specific document that outlines the procedures, controls, and safety measures to be implemented during asbestos removal works. It is prepared before removal begins to ensure asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are safely managed in accordance with work health and safety legislation and regulatory requirements.

Key Components

Scope of Works: Details the location, type, and quantity of asbestosto be removed, along with the removal methodology.

Risk Control Measures: Identifies procedures for containment, dust suppression, decontamination, air monitoring, and emergency response.

Health & Safety Requirements: Specifies personal protective equipment (PPE), exclusion zones, and worker responsibilities to minimise exposure risks.
