The document gives building owners, managers, workers, and other key building staff basic information on how to develop and carry out high-quality operations and maintenance programs for managing asbestos in place to safeguard the health of all building occupants. An operations and maintenance program can be defined as a formulated plan of training, cleaning, work practices, and surveillance to maintain asbestos-containing materials in good condition.
