Air monitoring and clearance

A clearance inspection is an inspection of an area after licensed asbestos removal work has been completed to verify that it is safe for normal use. A clearance inspection must include a visual inspection and may include air monitoring.

A clearance is required for all licensed Class A and Class B asbestos removal work.

Asbestos removal or disposal (including demolition)

There are specific requirements for how asbestos should be managed during removal, minor works or maintenance procedures. It is also important to know about prohibited activities, notifications, licences as well as advice about clean ups after floods, storms or fires.

Health and safety duties when removing asbestos

There are several duty holders who have a role in managing risks associated with removal of asbestos and asbestos containing material (ACM) at the workplace. These include: 

Managing naturally occurring asbestos and fibrous minerals in mining

What is naturally occurring asbestos (NOA)?

In most workplaces, the asbestos that is encountered and poses a risk to health and safety will be found in manufactured products. However, some workplaces may have to deal with asbestos in its natural state.

The health risks associated with the inhalation of airborne asbestos fibres are well established. Asbestos minerals encountered in exploration and mining operations must be managed carefully.

Asbestos register and asbestos management plan

Asbestos register

You must make an asbestos register document if you have asbestos and/or asbestos containing material (ACM) in your workplace, assumed to be in your workplace, or likely to be in your workplace from time to time. 

The asbestos register is a document that lists all identified (or assumed) asbestos in a workplace. The asbestos register is intended to ensure workers and others in the workplace do not accidently disturb asbestos.
