It is a requirement that all workplaces constructed prior to 2004 have an Asbestos Register and Management Plan or Clearance. In order to produce these for you, one of our highly trained inspectors will inspect your site and all structures within your boundary. This will identify if any asbestos is present on site, where it is, what is the condition, the risk rating, the type, and remedial works that may be required and photographic evidence.
Our inspector will inspect all accessible areas and buildings, nooks and crannies, internal and external, including the grounds and garden beds surrounding all buildings for possible asbestos containing materials.

All workplace inspections come with a compliance certificate, and we can send you a reminder when your re-inspection is due.

Under Australian law, a person in control of a worksite must ensure asbestos on site is confirmed, clearly indicated and recorded in a register. They must also supply an asbestos management plan if asbestos has been identified.
We can inspect the site and identify all asbestos containing materials on your behalf to save you valuable time, and reduce the stress of dealing with the hazardous materials.
The register will ensure compliance with the current OH&S legislation, be comprehensive and easy to read.
An asbestos register is not required for a workplace if:
An asbestos management plan helps people with management and control of buildings and other relevant structures to prevent exposure to airborne asbestos fibres by their staff and site visitors and outlines appropriate control measures and safety instructions.
The asbestos management plan should set out clear aims, stating what is going to be done, when it is going to be done, and how it is going to be done.
For more information about what is involved in a comprehensive asbestos management plan, contact our helpful asbestos control experts.
Sample testing or analysis needs to be carried out in order to identify the content of suspect materials and determine if they are friable or non-friable.

Many industrial sites built before the historic 1990 ban of asbestos, contain this hazardous material to this day. There are even some buildings constructed after 1990 and before 2004 that contain imported asbestos.
Asbestos was a popular product to use in industrial complexes like manufacturing plants and production facilities due to its fire retardant and sound proofing qualities.
We provide complete small and large scale industrial asbestos inspection and reporting services to ensure complete compliance with current legislation. Contact our helpdesk today to arrange a consultation for your industrial site inspection.
As people’s lives are getting busier, their living spaces are getting smaller. The old Australian quarter-acre blocks are being turned into low maintenance townhouses and apartment complexes to make space for easy living in our growing communities.
Asbestos was a popular residential building material up until 1990, and it is many of these properties that are being torn down or renovated. We can provide cost-effective solutions for homeowners and residential property developers that can be tailored to project budgets.
LDB was a popular product for wall and ceiling panels in properties built before the early 1980s. Sometimes called Asbestolux, this product can contain up to 70% asbestos fibres by volume.

If you are suspicious that your property contains this dangerous product, contact our helpful team to discuss what steps to take in its identification and ensure the safe and responsible containment or removal.
Whether you are a professional residential developer, independent builder, or private property owner asbestos affects you just the same. Even though it is acceptable to carry out up to 10m2 of DIY asbestos removal without a license in Queensland, we strongly advise utilising professional services for the safety of your family, your staff and yourself.
By using professional asbestos removal services, you can have peace of mind knowing all precautions were taken before further work is carried out on site. You will also have certified proof that all hazardous materials were removed by licensed and insured asbestos specialists and you will receive a clearance certificate as your guarantee of completion.
Unlike bonded asbestos, which is mixed with other materials like cement, friable asbestos is more likely to break apart, creating fibrous, hazardous dust, especially when aged or degraded. Friable literally means easily crumbled by hand.
Under Queensland OH&S laws this type of material must be removed by a Class A licensed asbestos removalist, with specialised containment and decontamination processes implemented, followed by a comprehensive assessors inspection to ensure that all dust and debris have been cleared.
We strive to stay at the leading edge of the asbestos industry and ensure our staff stay up to date with changes to the laws around asbestos. We can provide total asbestos services for all residential and commercial properties in the identification of friable and non-friable materials.
