Asbestos-contaminated soil

What it contains

People working with asbestos can be exposed to dangerous dust fibres while inspecting, removing, transporting and disposing of soil. This guide explains how to minimise exposure to asbestos, explaining:

• the regulations to supply, store, transport and sell soil containing asbestos
• who is responsible for inspecting soil
• who can remove asbestos from contaminated soil
• how to transport and dispose of asbestos-contaminated soil

At the end of the guide, there is also an example of a soil inspection statement.
