👉 Identify Risks & Protect Health Before Renovating or Selling
If you’re considering a renovation, it’s crucial to understand how to safely manage asbestos in and around your home.
Asbestos was widely used in the manufacture of over 3,000 building and decorator products. Due to its prevalence, asbestos-containing materials can be found in any home built or renovated before 1990, as well as in commercial and non-residential properties constructed or refurbished before 2004.
If you suspect the presence of asbestos in your property, it’s essential to avoid any actions that could release asbestos fibres into the air. Here are some critical dos and don’ts:
Asbestos fibers, when inhaled, can cause severe health issues, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. Properly managing asbestos is not just a legal requirement but also a critical step in protecting your health and the health of those around you.
If you need assistance identifying or managing asbestos, contact a licensed asbestos professional. They can provide the necessary expertise to ensure your renovation is safe and compliant with all regulations.
Stay safe and protect your home and health by being informed and cautious about asbestos!
The term “asbestos” encompasses several mineral types, with some more prevalent in residential materials than others:
When asbestos materials become damaged or disturbed, releasing fibres into the air, human inhalation or ingestion can occur. Inhaled asbestos fibres can become trapped in the body, causing inflammation, scarring, and eventual genetic damage over years of exposure. This raises the risk of mesothelioma (a rare cancer), lung diseases, and other cancers.
Despite being phased out decades ago, asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) can still be found in many older buildings and homes. Common ACMs include but are not limited to:
Any disturbance or deterioration of these materials can release asbestos fibres into the air, creating a potential health hazard. Proper identification, containment, and professional abatement is crucial when dealing with ACMs to minimize exposure risks.
If purchasing a property built before the mid-1980s with potential asbestos, an asbestos audit by a qualified consultant is advisable. During the audit, samples are collected from the property and analysed by a NATA-accredited laboratory to confirm any asbestos presence. If identified, a management plan will be provided.
