what is asbestos?
Asbestos, the name used for a naturally occurring mineral mined from rock and made up of many small fibres. Australia was one of the highest users of asbestos products per capita with 1 in every 3 homes containing some form of asbestos!
Asbestos can be found in many products within a home or building, asbestos products have high resistance to heat and fire, making it an extremely popular building material in Australia from 1940 – 1987.
Products containing asbestos were slowly phased out during the 1990’s but it was not nationally banned until the end of 2003.

FAQ
Here are some frequently asked questions that we get most about Asbestos.
Asbestos fibers can be released into the air when disturbed. The fibers of asbestos are approximatley 100 times thinner then a human hair. Inhalation of these fibers can lead to serious health issues, including asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma, which have a higher incidence in Australia due to historical exposure.

If you suspect asbestos, avoid disturbing it. Contact a licensed asbestos assesor for assessment and safe management options, as they follow strict guidelines under Australian regulations.
Unfortunately, the only reliable way to determine if a product contains asbestos is by having it tested in a certified laboratory. Engaging a licensed asbestos assessor can provide peace of mind and ensure that any necessary actions are taken safely and legally. They can guide you through the process of testing and, if needed, recommend safe removal practices to protect your health and the environment.
Asbestos waste must be disposed of at licensed facilities. It must be wrapped and labeled correctly to meet regulations set by local councils and environmental authorities.
A licensed asbestos assessor in Australia is a professional who has received specialized training and certification to conduct assessments of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). Their primary roles include:
Testing and Sampling: They collect samples from suspected asbestos materials for laboratory analysis to confirm the presence of asbestos.
Risk Assessment: They evaluate the condition of asbestos materials in buildings and determine the potential risks associated with exposure.
Management Plans: They develop and recommend management plans for handling asbestos, including safe removal or encapsulation if necessary.
Compliance Monitoring: They ensure that asbestos management practices comply with local and national regulations, such as the Work Health and Safety Act.
Reporting: They provide detailed reports on their findings, including recommendations for safety measures and compliance with legal requirements.
No, it is illegal for unlicensed individuals to remove more than 10 square meters of bonded asbestos. It’s crucial to hire a licensed professional to ensure safe removal and compliance with the laws set by Safe Work Australia.
There are two groups of asbestos-containing groups being Friable Asbestos and Non-Friable (bonded) Asbestos.
Friable asbestos is the most dangerous as it poses a great health risk due to its crumble-like properties. Friable asbestos is reduced to powder or crumbled by hand, releasing fibres into the air. Non-Friable asbestos can become friable if it is severely damaged by heat.
Non-Friable asbestos are materials that we made up with a bonding agent such as cement with asbestos fibres combined. Non-Friable asbestos materials usually do not release fibres unless they are damaged, disturbed or have deteriorated over time.
