Asbestos Inspections are required to determine building material integrity. Be it a commercial, public or private rental property, or before you start any renovation or maintenance work, the important issue is Risk Mitigation. It is estimated that 1/3 of all homes built in Australia contain asbestos. Western Australian legislative obligations like OSH Act 1984, Regulations 1996 would need to be considered.

OSH Regulations require you to verify that the area is safe for normal use prior to re-occupancy. Visual determination of asbestos material checklists are required to be carried out by a competent person. There are varying degrees of competency depending on the nature of the worker’s task or what is being assessed.
As requiring a competent person to undertake a specific task or activity, it is a matter for the employer to take reasonably practicable steps to determine if the person engaged to do the work has acquired through training, qualification or experience the knowledge and skills to carry out the task.
We need to consider how we deal with;
• The asbestos identification checklist can only be completed upon the satisfactory findings of a visual material degradation inspection.
• The asbestos material area, and the area immediately surrounding it.
• Visible asbestos contamination in the form of loose asbestos.
