  1. ASBESTOS TESTING IN TOWNSVILLE

  2. Asbestos is a great concern in Australia since it was one of the highest users of this hazardous material per capita in the world, up until the middle 1980s. It is reported that one-third of all homes built in Australia contain fibre products. This is why you need to keep your awareness towards this issue.

  3. Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) were commonly used in producst to provide fireproofing and insulation properties. • There are many areas in the home where the ACMs can be found including: • roof sheeting (roof asbestos removal here), • guttering, • eaves, • wall sheeting, • vinyl sheet flooring, • flexible building boards, • fencing, carports, • and concrete formwork.

  4. Breathing airborne fibres can causes the scarring of the lungs tissue, and even worse, it can causes lung cancers. After 1989, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) established regulations related to ACMs. • Potential health risks are evident where: • ACMs are presence • They’re weathered or damage • A maintenance or a demolition project involving fibrous materials is conducted.

  5. Building with Asbestos Containing Materials

  6. Asbestos management survey The purpose of the management survey is to manage asbestos-containing materials (ACM) during the normal occupation and use of premises. The duty-holder can make a management survey where the premises are simple and straightforward (See Having samples taken). Otherwise, a surveyor is needed. • A Management Survey aims to ensure that: • nobody is harmed by the continuing presence of ACM in the premises or equipment; • that the ACM remain in good condition; and • that nobody disturbs it accidentally
