Why Asbestos Is Still a Risk in Sydney and the Blue Mountains

Thousands of buildings across Sydney, Western Sydney, and the Blue Mountains were constructed using asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) prior to the national asbestos ban in 2003 — particularly between the 1940s and late 1980s.

Common asbestos materials include:

• Corrugated cement roofs and eaves

• Internal wall linings and ceiling boards

• Vinyl floor tiles and adhesives

• Wet area sheeting in bathrooms and laundries

• Fencing panels and garage cladding

• Pipe insulation, lagging, and boiler lining

• Contaminated soil from past disposal or illegal dumping

Disturbing these materials can release dangerous airborne fibres that cause mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer. The only way to confirm asbestos is present is through professional testing.

2. Asbestos Inspections & SafeWork NSW-Compliant Asbestos Registers

If your building was constructed before 2004 and is used as a workplace or commercial premises, a current asbestos register is legally required under the NSW Work Health and Safety Regulation 2017.

We deliver detailed asbestos inspections and produce fully compliant asbestos registers for:

• Office buildings, retail sites, schools, and healthcare facilities

• Government and council-managed properties

• Construction and demolition projects

• Strata portfolios and property management groups

• Developers seeking DA approval

• Businesses leasing or upgrading older buildings

What’s Included in an Asbestos Register?

• Comprehensive site inspection by a Licensed Asbestos Assessor

• Identification of all known or presumed ACMs

• Documentation of material type, condition, friability, and risk rating

• Floor plan annotations and photographic records

• Sample testing where required, with NATA lab results

• Recommendations for management, monitoring, or removal

• Prepared in line with the SafeWork NSW Code of Practice (2022)

3. Asbestos Removal Support, Air Monitoring & Clearance Inspections

Asbestos removal must be conducted by licensed professionals, and all work involving friable or significant quantities of ACM requires independent clearance.

We offer full removal support services, including:

• Referrals to Class A and B licensed asbestos removal contractors

• Independent site attendance and oversight during removal works

• Air monitoring (personal, static, clearance) performed by qualified hygienists

• Visual clearance inspections after removal

• Issuance of legally compliant Clearance Certificates

• Documentation suitable for SafeWork NSW, project managers, certifiers, and councils

Clearance inspections are a legal requirement after licensed asbestos removal and must be carried out by an independent competent person.
