15 FUTURE STEPS Legislation: adoption of regulations: - The waste management containing asbestos; - RULES restrictions and prohibitions on the production, circulation and use of chemicals that represent an unacceptable risk to human health and the environment with deadlines for implementation that will lead to delays in production, especially of Electric Power Industry of Serbia, where there is a greater use of asbestos. Management of asbestos in terms of asbestos as a substance or mixture 1. prohibition of exploitation of asbestos 2. ban the use of asbestos in products 3. ban on asbestos imports Asbestos kills: Protect yourself! 15
