What from of asbestos are we discussing here?
Some are much more hazardous than others, such as Amosite or Crocidolite.

Morning All
There have been several postings in the past on this forum about acceptable levels of asbestos in topsoil. These range from 0.001% (ICRCL quoted value) to 0.01% (cut-off for haz waste classification for carcinogenic material). In our experience, as there is no definitive guidance on the issue, we find that early and hopefully , pragmatic discussions with CLOs is often the best way forward.
My question; is anyone aware of any new, definitive, updated guidance on this issue. I know that an asbestos SGV was muted some time back.
