        (b)     revise the employer's asbestos register if it is inadequate having regard to the proposed demolition or refurbishment work.

Example

The employer's asbestos register may be inadequate if it identifies areas that are inaccessible that are likely to contain asbestos and those areas will become accessible as a result of the demolition or refurbishment work.

Note

Act compliance—section 21 (see regulation 7).

    (2)     The employer must provide the employer or self‑employed person who is to perform the demolition or refurbishment work with a copy of the employer's asbestos register, including any revisions made under this regulation.
