The health surveillance and monitoring of employees exposed to asbestos should be done completely, and the type, exposure level and duration of asbestos should be recorded, and asbestos-related records should be kept for 40 years.
It is mentioned by the UK-based IOSH (Institution of Occupational Safety and Health) that asbestos can be found in many buildings built in the 90s and before, and the importance of the measures to be taken against it. In cases where asbestos is detected, a risk assessment plan should be made and people who will be exposed to asbestos should be informed about the precautions and procedures to be followed. Further investigation is recommended by authorities and responsible persons to detect asbestos and to avoid high-risk asbestos-containing situations.
