combination of using signs and barricades may be necessary to limit access to the asbestos removal area, for example installing a fence and signs may be used as a method to inform people that it is the asbestos removal area. Using locking access doors may be appropriate as long it does not create an evacuation hazard.
All people who have access to the removal area should comply with any direction given by the licensed asbestos removalist.
Section 4.2 of this Code provides further detail on the type of signs and barricades that should be used at a workplace.

3.8 Decontamination
When carrying out licensed asbestos removal work, the licensed asbestos removalist must ensure decontamination facilities are available for the asbestos removal work area, any plant used in that area and workers carrying out the asbestos removal work.
Section 4.6 of this Code outlines decontamination procedures that can be put in place at the workplace.

3.9 Waste containment and disposal
When carrying out licensed asbestos removal work, the licensed asbestos removalist must ensure that asbestos waste is contained and labelled in accordance with the GHS before the waste is removed from the asbestos removal area. It must be disposed of as soon as is practicable at a site authorised to accept asbestos waste.

PPE
Disposable PPE that has been used in the asbestos work area and is contaminated with asbestos must be sealed and labelled in a container and disposed of upon completion of the asbestos removal work.
In some cases, it may not be reasonably practicable to dispose of PPE that is clothing. In this case, the clothing must be laundered at a laundry that is equipped to launder asbestos-contaminated clothing. If this cannot be done, the clothing must be sealed in a container until is reused for asbestos removal purposes.
It may also not be reasonably practicable to dispose of PPE that is not clothing. If this is the case, the clothing must be decontaminated prior to it being removed from the asbestos removal area. If this cannot be done, the PPE must be sealed in a container until it is reused for asbestos removal purposes.
Where a sealed container has been used, it must be decontaminated and labelled in accordance with the GHS prior to it being removed from the asbestos removal area to indicate that it contains asbestos.
Section 4.5 of this Code provides guidance on the type of PPE that can be used. Section 4.8 of this Code outlines waste containment and disposal procedures that can be implemented at the workplace.
