Asbestos Inspections for Different Property Types
Each property type has unique considerations and requirements, making tailored inspections essential for effective risk management and regulatory adherence.
Residential Properties
If you engage a commercial contractor for these works, they are required to ensure a Division 6 Asbestos Audit is carried out before starting. This audit helps to identify and assess any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in your home, ensuring the occupational health of the workers and safety of the occupants.
Commercial Buildings
If your building dates back to before 2004, you must maintain a Division 5 Asbestos Register detailing the location, condition, and friability of all asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). This register must be reviewed and updated every five years, and Victorian regulations require including 'unfixed' asbestos items like dust or stored materials.
Industrial Facilities
Industrial facilities are at higher risk for asbestos due to their age and construction materials. For demolition or refurbishment, you must conduct a Division 6 Audit, which is more thorough than a standard asbestos audit. Samples during the audit must be analysed by a National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) organisation.
Why is an Asbestos Audit in Melbourne Important?
With the prevalence of asbestos in older buildings, a thorough audit helps identify hazardous materials, prevent potential health risks, and meet legal requirements, ultimately protecting both people and property from the dangers of asbestos exposure.
Protecting Health
Identifying defects or required repairs early on allows you to negotiate a more favourable purchase price or allocate funds for necessary renovations, ultimately saving you from unexpected financial burdens down the line.
Compliance with Australian Regulations
A comprehensive inspection report highlights areas of concern, enabling you to address them promptly and prevent minor issues from escalating into major, costly repairs or potential safety hazards.
Minimising Property Damage
Our inspectors prioritise your well-being by thoroughly assessing the property's structural integrity, electrical systems, and potential hazards, ensuring a safe living environment for you and your loved ones.
Enhanced Property Value
Armed with detailed information about the property's condition, you can confidently make informed decisions, mitigating risks, avoiding potential pitfalls, and ensuring a successful investment outcome.
Reduced Risk of Lawsuits
Our inspections adhere to the Australian Standard AS 4349.1-2007, ensuring a thorough assessment of the property's compliance with building codes and regulations, providing you with peace of mind.
Safe Renovation Practices
Before any renovation or maintenance, an asbestos audit is essential. It identifies asbestos materials, prevents exposure, and ensures work is conducted safely and according to regulations.
