Frequently asked questions

When should an asbestos risk assessment be conducted?

An asbestos risk assessment should be conducted before starting any work that might disturb building materials in structures built before the 2000s. It is especially important before renovations, demolitions, or maintenance activities where asbestos exposure could occur.

What are the main steps in conducting an asbestos risk assessment?

The main steps include identifying suspected asbestos-containing materials, assessing their condition and risk of disturbance, evaluating exposure risks, and documenting findings. You’ll then implement controls and recommendations to manage or remove asbestos safely and legally.

What are the health risks of asbestos exposure for workers?

Exposure to asbestos fibers can cause severe respiratory diseases, including asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. These conditions often develop many years after exposure and can be fatal, making early identification and control of risks crucial for worker safety.

How do you identify asbestos-containing materials in a building?

Asbestos-containing materials are often found in insulation, floor tiles, ceiling panels, roofing, and pipe lagging, especially in buildings constructed before 2000. A professional asbestos survey or laboratory analysis is usually required for accurate identification.
