All ACMs should be removable to the fullest extent practicable prior to major repairs, minor remodels, and final demolition, according to CAR 2012 (regulation 7). Design experts bidding on the work may be required to file an asbestos assessment in order to address asbestos risks.
A destructive inspection may be required to connect all areas in a demolition and remodelling survey. ACMs are identified in any position where repair, general upkeep, or demolition work is being performed.
