Adherence To Asbestos Legislation

Asbestos Assessors are recommended by WorkCover and approved by local councils.

Our asbestos inspection reports are produced in accordance with the requirements of the National Occupational Health and Safety Commission Code of Practice for the Management and Control of Asbestos in Workplaces [NOHSC:2018(2005)] and the NSW Occupational Health and Safety Regulation 2001.

Asbestos inspections are required for buildings that are likely to contain asbestos. The NSW OHS regulation requires that all buildings suspected of containing asbestos materials must have asbestos inspections conducted. However not all asbestos inspections are the same. The type of asbestos inspections during occupation will be different to the type of asbestos inspections required before renovations or demolition.

What Is Asbestos?

Asbestos material is the fibrous form of mineral silicates belonging to the serpentine and amphibole groups of rock-forming minerals. The most significant types include chrysotile, crocidolite and amosite (white, brown or blue asbestos). Asbestos is the binding material used in many products. The material was so effective as a binding material that it was used in over 3,000 products in and around the home and to a small degree, in cars.

In the past, the dangers of asbestos were completely unknown, and exposure was high in a lot of industries and jobs, particularly those working in and around the asbestos mine. Tradesmen working with and installing the material were also exposed but to a lesser degree to than the miners as the material was more contained and the saturation of fibres in the air was lower. However, those demolishing asbestos-ridden structures were at great risk.

There is no safe degree of exposure to asbestos. For this reason, it is vital that each homeowner and each commercial entity undertaking a construction project have asbestos identified so that safe handling procedures can be followed if asbestos is present.
