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
FUTURE STEPS Waste Management, which consists, contains or is contaminated with asbestos - National implementation plan for the management of asbestos and waste which consists, contains or is contaminated with asbestos: a state historic amount of asbestos waste, an inventory of asbestos used and the waste that consists, contains or is contaminated with asbestos, review possible procedures for waste management which consists, contains or is contaminated with asbestos and the proposal Selection process: storage in the mines, treatment and disposal to landfill, export. As part of the plan is necessary to analyze all possibilities of managing asbestos waste from an economic, social and economic as well as technological aspects. 16
