Asbestos Management Solutions
Managing asbestos risks requires a detailed and systematic approach that addresses all aspects of identification, testing, monitoring, and compliance. Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are prevalent in many buildings constructed before 2004, and their disturbance can release harmful fibres into the air, posing serious health risks such as asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. We can help workplaces and property owners navigate the complexities of asbestos management with confidence.
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in construction materials due to its durability, fire resistance, and insulation properties. However, it is now recognised as a hazardous material, and strict regulations govern its management to protect public health. In Western Australia, the Work Health and Safety (WHS) Regulations 2022 mandate that workplaces identify, assess, and manage ACMs to prevent exposure to asbestos fibres.
Key facts about asbestos in Western Australia include:
- Many older buildings and structures, especially those built before the 1990s, may contain ACMs.
- Asbestos-related diseases can take decades to develop, emphasising the need for early detection and management.
- The Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS) enforces strict requirements for asbestos management in the mining, construction, and demolition industries.
Western Australia-Specific Compliance Requirements
Under the Work Health and Safety (WHS) Regulations 2022, all workplaces where ACMs are present or assumed must:
- Maintain an up-to-date asbestos register.
- Develop and implement an asbestos management plan.
- Ensure asbestos removal is carried out by licensed professionals.
- Conduct air monitoring during removal or high-risk activities.
- Retain all records related to asbestos management for at least five years.
Failing to comply with these regulations can result in penalties, fines, and increased health risks for workers and the public.
By engaging Occuhealth, you’ll receive comprehensive support to manage asbestos risks effectively and maintain compliance with Western Australian regulations.
