| Asbestos, in particular friable asbestos products, poses health risks during removal, transport and disposal. It is important, therefore, that asbestos be handled appropriately during these operations. Under the Environment Protection (Industrial Waste Resource) Reglations 2009 the disposal of waste asbestos, whether of industrial or domestic origin, is controlled by EPA. In addition, EPA controls the transportation of asbestos of industrial (including commercial or trade) origin. Under the Regulations, asbestos from industrial origins (including commercial or trade activities) is a prescribed industrial waste (PIW) and when packaged in accordance with this guideline is a Category C waste.
