Painting Asbestos Roofs (Roofing)
Preparation and coating or encapsulation of asbestos-cement roofs in place, where the roof is coated by brush, roller or low-impact spray and never abraded or pressure-washed.
Objective
Complete the work safely by controlling falls through the fragile AC roof and fibre release through working from platforms, edge protection and rated anchors, and encapsulation by coating only with no abrasion or pressure cleaning.
This is the Roofing version. The hazards and controls are written around roofing work, so it differs from the other 2 trade versions of Painting Asbestos Roofs. Compare all 3.
Built by WHS professionals, written for your state
Every document is built by WHS professionals. Each state version references the Act, regulator, and requirements for the state you select. Victoria gets the OHS Act and WorkSafe Victoria, NSW gets the WHS Act and SafeWork NSW.
