What Is an Asbestos Clearance Inspection?
An asbestos clearance inspection is a mandatory step after asbestos removal, confirming the site is safe to reoccupy. Conducted by a licensed asbestos assessor or asbestos hygienist, the inspection ensures that all asbestos-containing materials have been removed to the required standard.
We provide:
A detailed visual asbestos inspection of the removal area.
Assessment of all surfaces, fixtures, and surroundings.
Air monitoring where required by regulation.
A formal Asbestos Clearance Certificate issued by a Licensed Asbestos Assessor.
When Are Clearance Inspections Required?
Clearance inspections are required for:
Friable asbestos removal (mandatory under WHS law).
Many bonded asbestos removal projects, especially in workplaces or public buildings.
Projects where council, WHS officers, or SafeWork NSW request independent certification.
What You’ll Receive
Site visit by a SafeWork NSW Licensed Asbestos Assessor.
A detailed asbestos clearance report confirming the area is free of visible asbestos.
An official Asbestos Clearance Certificate for WHS and SafeWork NSW compliance.
Optional: Air monitoring and NATA-accredited laboratory results if required.
Independent advice from an occupational hygienist or occupational hygiene consultant on next steps (e.g. asbestos labelling, management plans, or reinspection).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: When is an asbestos clearance inspection required?
A clearance inspection is legally required after licensed asbestos removal — including friable/Class A jobs and most licensed Class B removals. It may also be arranged after any asbestos removal to confirm the area is safe to reoccupy, particularly in workplaces, public sites, schools, and government facilities.
Q: Should I book before or after removal?
Book in advance so we can attend immediately after removal and final clean. We coordinate with your removalist or builder to ensure a Licensed Asbestos Assessor (LAA) inspects as soon as the area is ready.
Q: How fast will I get my asbestos clearance certificate?
In most cases, certificates are issued the same day the inspection passes. Where static air monitoring is required, results are processed through a NATA-accredited laboratory and the certificate is issued as soon as results are available (usually the same day).
Q: Who is qualified to perform the inspection?
Only a Licensed Asbestos Assessor (LAA) can legally issue a clearance certificate. At Confluence Environmental, clearances are undertaken by a SafeWork NSW LAA, with technical support from an asbestos hygienist / occupational hygienist where required.
Q: Do you provide air monitoring as part of the clearance?
Yes. Static air monitoring can be included where required by WHS regulations, project scope, or for added assurance. All results are reported via a NATA-accredited laboratory.
Q: What does the clearance inspection include?
Detailed visual inspection of the removal area and surrounds.
Verification of waste removal and cleanliness to clearance criteria.
(If required) static air monitoring with NATA-accredited results.
A signed Asbestos Clearance Certificate issued by a Licensed Asbestos Assessor.
Q: What happens if the area doesn’t pass first time?
We provide a clear list of issues for the removalist to rectify (e.g. additional cleaning). A re-inspection is then carried out the same day wherever possible to keep your project moving.
Q: Do you perform asbestos removal?
No. We are independent consultants — we do not perform asbestos removal. This ensures our inspections are unbiased, compliant, and trusted by regulators.
