saneringsplan

A saneringsplan is a planning document used to organize and describe the remediation or decontamination of a site or building that is considered hazardous to health or the environment. It is typically required before renovations, demolitions, or other activities that may disturb asbestos, pollutions, or other contaminated materials, with the aim of minimizing risks to workers, nearby residents, and the environment.

A saneringsplan usually contains several key elements. It describes the site and the identified contaminants, assesses the associated risks, and states the objectives of the remediation work. It outlines the chosen remediation methods, such as removal, encapsulation, stabilization, or in-situ treatment, and provides a sequencing and schedule for activities. The plan includes safety and operational procedures, including personal protective equipment, containment measures, ventilation, and air monitoring. It covers waste management and disposal, monitoring and verification strategies, and criteria for confirming that remediation is complete. It also specifies roles and responsibilities, required permits or approvals, and documentation and reporting requirements, together with the estimated budget and procurement needs.

The saneringsplan is typically prepared by a qualified environmental consultant or contractor, often in collaboration with the property owner or developer. It serves as a basis for permit applications, tendering, and the execution of remediation work, and is commonly updated as project conditions change. Regulatory context varies by jurisdiction but generally involves environmental and occupational safety regulations, with authorities reviewing and approving the plan to ensure compliance and protect public health.
