Asbestos in the Workplace

The import and new use of asbestos and asbestos containing materials is now banned in Australia, but it is still with us. Asbestos is still present in many workplaces and buildings built before the mid 1980's. Large numbers of Australian workers are still being diagnosed with asbestos related illnesses, many years after they were exposed.

Many of these workers will die. On top of this, plumbers, electricians and other maintenance workers and others could be unwittingly working with or around asbestos every day.

	As the owner /manager of a workplace you have a current and up to date Asbestos Audit Register.
	An approved analyst has confirmed whether or not materials have asbestos in them;
	It has been assumed that inaccessible areas contain asbestos.
	It is current - that is, it is less than 5 years old and has been reviewed whenever there were potential changes to the state of the asbestos.

If you can not tick all these boxes then you are in breach of the Workplace Health and Safety Act and need to contact QBM to arrange an Asbestos Audit and Asbestos Management Plan and we will get you up to date with all current legislation.
