Compliance and Best Practices for Remedial Action Plans in NSW

Hazardous materials like asbestos in New South Wales (NSW) would require specific documents and action plans to protect both property occupants and his workers. Some of these key documents are the Remedial Action Plan NSW and the Asbestos Management Plan Sydney.

What is a Remedial Action Plan for NSW?

A Remedial Action Plan NSW is the instrument that describes the required steps to remediate environmental contamination on the site. Be it from contaminated soil, groundwater pollution, or residual hazardous substances, it is a detailed remediation strategy for achieving compliance with NSW's environmental regulations. This document is often a prerequisite for granting approval to continue with further development or construction, and at times determines the condition of the site for future use.

The important elements of a RAP include:

●  Result of site investigation

●  Risk assessments

●  Remediation goals and methods

●      Health and safety measures

Steps for ongoing monitoring and validation process

In New South Wales, the development of a RAP usually becomes necessary when any site has been declared by the planning directions or by EPA guidelines to be contaminated land. Without a proper RAP, a project could be delayed, or even come to a halt, as it may be found in breach of regulatory compliance.

Sustainable property managers, contractors, or business owners in Sydney must possess a compliant AMP not just legally, but also in duty of care to workers and occupants.

As in the Remedial Action Plan NSW, It is a ticket to compliance with very strict government systems both in the state and in the federal. It absorbs liability in a very huge way. Most importantly, it creates a much safer environment to work in for everyone concerned.

Engaging qualified environmental consultants to prepare these Plans helps ensure accuracy and compliance with the regulations while bringing the peace of mind associated with having done everything possible to ensure safety. Whether you are developing a site or maintaining a commercial property, place these Plans at the very top of your priority list when it comes to putting together a risk management strategy.
