What is asbestos?
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral containing strong fibres that have excellent durability, fire resistance and insulating properties. However, if disturbed and fibres become airborne and are inhaled, it can pose a health risk.
how do i know if a material in my house contains asbestos?
You can’t tell if a building material contains asbestos just by looking at it.
Careful examination of a sample using specialised microscopic procedures can be completed at a NATA accredited laboratory to confirm whether a material contains asbestos.
As a general rule, if your home was built before 1990, it is likely to contain some asbestos materials. A knowledge of building products that contained asbestos can help to assume asbestos is present.
Asbestos was used in more than 3000 products and applications and it is estimated to be in one in three homes across Australia.
do new building materials contain asbestos?
No. Since 31 December 2003, asbestos and all products containing asbestos have been banned throughout Australia. It is illegal to import, store, supply, sell, install, use or re-use these materials. The ban does not apply to asbestos previously installed (e.g. asbestos in houses).
what should i do if i find asbestos in my home?
You don’t need to remove asbestos. If materials containing asbestos are in good condition (i.e. undamaged, undisturbed), the safest option is to leave them alone. The materials are not dangerous if undisturbed and sealed.
Before commencing your renovation, ask yourself or your tradesperson these questions:
- Can you avoid disturbing asbestos materials?
- How much asbestos material will you remove (<10 m2)?
- How will you or your tradesperson dispose of asbestos waste?
- How will you stop your exposure to fibres or that of your family or neighbours?
- Who will you use to do the job
- Are you aware of all the risks?
