Notification of activities involving asbestos Acceptance company-related supplementary

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 on completion of the work after all hazardous substances have been removed and a thorough cleaning has been carried out.
