New guidance on soils that have the potential to contain asbestos has been published by CIRIA. 

It provides a practical framework to help minimise the health risks and liabilities when asbestos-containing soils (ACS) are encountered. The summary on the CIRIA website states:

The Asbestos in Soil Joint Industry Working Group (JIWG) has published industry guidance on the

‘Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012: Interpretation for Managing and Working with Asbestos in Soil and Construction & Demolition Materials’.

To reduce the risk of falling asleep while still reading the title the document will be referred to as CAR-SOIL.
