About Asbestos Asbestos is a useful insulator that has been in use since the 1920's. However, as everyone is aware, it is very dangerous if inhaled into the lungs, causing respiratory problems such as asbestosis and mesothelioma. With the recognition of its dangers there are now active programs in most areas to safely remove any asbestos where it remains a health risk, and all states have regulations to cover this. Materials Containing Asbestos Material that contains asbestos is referred to as either friable or bonded. Bonded asbestos is firmly bound and is a common building material such as flat asbestos cement sheeting (fibro) and asbestos cement pipes. Friable asbestos is loosely bound asbestos such as pipe and boiler lagging. Any asbestos cement product that has been broken or smashed, damaged by hail, heat/fire, weathering or other mechanical action is deemed friable. An AS1 Licence is required for the removal of friable asbestos. New WorkCover Regulations As of 1st Jan 08 any work involving Bonded Asbestos greater than 10m2 will require the following; A notification from WorkCover must be attained. All removalists must have a Asbestos Removal Ticket and a WorkCover trained competent person must be on site at all times. The company doing the work must have a licence issued by WorkCover.
