Prioritised removal
Removing asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) is the most effective way to prevent exposure to asbestos. It is now accepted that the traditional approach to managing asbestos in place is not the best way to manage ACMs, particularly as they age, degrade and deteriorate.
The extent of the asbestos legacy in Victorian government-owned buildings means it's impracticable to remove all ACMs at once. A prioritised, risk-based approach to asbestos removal enables more efficient resource allocation by planning and budgeting for the removal of ACMs, starting with the most hazardous.
