While rewiring an older building, an electrician exposes a section of insulation board behind a socket that they suspect could be an asbestos-containing material (ACM). What is the most appropriate first step to take?
-
A
Take a small sample of the material in a sealed bag for later identification.
-
B
Continue with the work but wear a standard FFP3 dust mask for protection.
-
C
Immediately stop work, secure the area to prevent access, and inform the site supervisor or client.
-
D
Spray the area with water to dampen it down and minimise dust before carrying on.
