Seahealth Denmark has drawn up guidelines for vessels and ship-owners on working with materials containing asbestos. The guidance consists of two parts. The first part provides general guidance on working with materials containing asbestos whilst the second part is a template for risk assessments for working with them.
We recommend reading the guidance before doing a risk assessment so as to include issues that are specific to the ship. A risk assessment template is available in rich text (rtf) format, which is compatible with Safety & Health at Sea so it is possible to import the risk assessment into the programme.
