Asbestos Inspections
In Australia, many homes and commercial buildings built or renovated before 1990 still contain asbestos, a hazardous material once widely used in building construction materials. It is estimated that 4,000 Australians die each year from asbestos-related diseases and conditions, so when purchasing, renovating or maintaining an older property, it is crucial to request an asbestos inspection to identify and manage it appropriately.
There are regulations related to asbestos management, so failure to inspect and properly manage the hazardous materials could be costly. Commercial property owners are legally required to identify and manage asbestos risks. Fines of up to $10,000 apply for non-compliance under Work Health and Safety Regulations.
What we do when inspecting for asbestos
Our certified inspectors visually assess all accessible areas and collect samples for lab testing accredited by the National Association of Testing Authorities.
You’ll receive a clear report including:
- Lab results
- Asbestos location and condition records
- Photographic evidence
- Risk management advice
If you are a commercial property owner, we also assist you in meeting your legal asbestos management obligations.
