In addition, indicate the place and time for company-related notification. Required for activities with asbestos on a small scale
Source: BUS Rheinland-PfalzIf you carry out small-scale activities with asbestos-containing materials, in addition to the company-related notification to the responsible occupational health and safety authority, a supplementary notification with the place and time of the work to be carried out is required and a copy of this must be sent to the accident insurance company. Only companies are obliged to notify the authorities.
The additional notification of place and time is required for the following reason:
The manufacture, use and processing of materials containing asbestos is generally prohibited for both companies and private individuals. Exceptions apply to demolition, renovation and maintenance work.
If this involves working with materials containing asbestos, you as the contractor must notify the relevant health and safety authority before starting the work. This notification can be company-specific or object-specific. A notification obligation only exists for companies.
Company-related notifications can be made for stationary (e.g. company site) or temporary (e.g. construction site) workplaces.
For temporary workplaces, a company-related notification is only possible in the following cases:
- Activities with low exposure (No. 2.8Technical Rules for Hazardous Substances - Asbestos, demolition, renovation or maintenance work (TRGS) 519)
- Low-emission work processes (No. 2.9 TRGS 519)
- Work on a small scale (No. 2.10 Para. 3 TRGS 519), i.e. asbestos cement panels in outdoor areas with less than 100 m2. (An additional notification of place and time must be submitted before work begins).
- Maintenance measures (No. 17 TRGS 519)
