Show object-related activities with asbestos
The manufacture, use and processing of materials containing asbestos is generally prohibited for both companies and private individuals. Exceptions apply to demolition, renovation and maintenance work.
When working with asbestos, it is important to inform the competent authority comprehensively and in good time. This notification helps to ensure that all necessary protective measures are taken and complied with. The procedure aims to protect the health of employees and minimize environmental pollution. The employer must detail the working methods as well as the hygienic and technical precautions to ensure a safe working environment. In addition, the work area must be released upon completion of the work after all hazardous substances have been removed and a thorough cleaning has been carried out.
Property-specific notifications require precise localization of the workplace and knowledge of the asbestos products present there. The employer must accurately document and communicate the condition of the materials and the risk restrictions in accordance with the occupational health and safety measures, which vary between company and property-specific requirements. Protective measures must be individually adapted and their effectiveness continuously monitored.
Property-specific notifications must generally be submitted if the work is carried out outside the company premises (e.g. construction sites).
