After removal the area needs to be thoroughly cleaned uisng high efficiency particulate air vacuums(HEPA). The air in area should be monitored to ensure asbestos fibre levels are below regulatory limits before the containment is removed. All the abpove needs to be documented and the disposal records maintained for reference.”
