Asbestos in a building: Where & how to check?
Asbestos was popular until people realized that it causes deadly lung diseases. Due to its negative effects to a person’s health, this substance was completely banned in 2003 in Australia.
According to the Australian Government (https://www.asbestossafety.gov.au/), asbestos can be found in:
- Concrete formwork
- Guttering
- Flues, gables, and eaves pipes
- Roof sheeting and capping
- Vinyl sheet flooring
- Some window putty
- Imitation brick cladding
- Wall sheeting
- Tile and carpet underlay
- Selenite backing boards
- Carports and Sheds
- Flexible building boards
- Fencing
- Telecommunications pits
- Waterproof membrane
- Packing under beams
- Expansion joints
If you believe you have asbestos at your premises, you can follow these steps to identify the potential of asbestos inyour property:
The first thing you need to do is find out the age of your property. Recently built buildings, which are built after 2003, are mostly safe from asbestos. However, if your building was built before this year, you have to be cautious. You may have asbestos materials at your premises.
If you have that it is likely there is asbestos at your premises, you will then need to consider if the asbestos material is still in good condition or deteriorating. If it is in good condition, then it is usually not dangerous. But, it’s a completely different story when asbestos material gets damaged. A damaged asbestos product is very dangerous as asbestos fibres can easily become airborne. So, no matter what the condition is, it’s better for you to get it tested by a professional.
It is difficult to tell whether a product at your premises contains asbestos only by looking at it. Due to its size, asbestos should be identified by microscopic analysis. Only a trained professional can identify the presence of asbestos properly. Call our team of specialists to perform sampling and identification via a NATA approved laboratory.
