Asbestos Management
Are you renovating, if so you need to think about the management of any fibro or possibly asbestos products. You need to know, before you start what materials you will be handling. The NSW Government has developed some practical information specifically for renovators and homeowners working with fibro and asbestos.
The brochure, Fibro & Asbestos a Renovator and Homeowner's Guide, contains a safety checklist, guidance on safe disposal of fibro and some general tips about what to do is fibro is damaged. It also contains a list of contacts and some useful websites for more information. In addition to the brochure, there is more detailed information in the Fibro & Asbestos Frequently Asked Questions. Both the brochure and the FAQs are now available on the NSW Government website at www.nsw.gov.au/fibro. Please note a NSW WorkCover licenced asbestos contractor is required for 50 square metres or more of bonded asbestos, which is about the size of a single garage. From 1 January 2008, this will be reduced to 10 square metres, which is about the size of a bathroom.
Asbestos has been used in more than 3000 products and the only real way to tell if a product is asbestos is by manufacturer's stamp or laboratory testing. more .. |
