The health, safety and well-being of Whakatāne District Council employees and the public is the highest priority of the Council. This commitment includes ensuring that any asbestos containing materials (ACM) found in Council-owned facilities is managed in such a way as to minimise the risk to its employees, public and service providers.

The variety and age of Council owned facilities means that there will be ACM within the many of its structures, and this plan is designed to recognise such risk and outline the actions to identify, manage and/or eliminate asbestos.

This Asbestos Management Plan (AMP) provides for an effective strategy for the management of asbestos related hazards in Council structures, and minimise the associated risks to health and safety that ACM may hold for employees, service providers and the public.

The plan has been developed to comply with government policy and legislative requirements in the management of ACM in workplaces.
