Asbestos and hazardous material FAQs

Do I need to arrange asbestos and/or hazardous material removal?

In Australia, it is critical that asbestos is handled, removed and disposed of properly. According to Safework Australia, duty holders of work involving asbestos are required to eliminate, or minimise as much as practicable, the risks arising from asbestos removal. Thus any project associated with asbestos should have engagement with a licensed asbestos removal contractor.

Asbestos is not regular waste. Asbestos poses many hazards and cannot be disposed of with regular demolition waste. It is critical that​ asbestos fibres are not released into the environment by activities associated with construction or demolition. As such, licensed asbestos removal contractors need to dispose of asbestos at specified sites according to regulations. Getting an asbestos removal specialist involved in your project early can help you to minimise costs and reduce risk.

What is a Clearance Certificate?

An Asbestos Clearance Certificate documents that all visible asbestos and asbestos fragments at a site have been removed. It is completed by a consultant who inspects all areas in which asbestos was handled, including transportation areas. This ensures that the health risks of asbestos have been removed. Until an Asbestos Clearance Certificate has been completed, an area should not be generally accessible.

What is a hazardous material demolition plan?

A Hazardous Material Demolition Plan is documentation that helps to establish and identify the leadership and responsibilities of a duty holder involved with a demolition project. It helps to minimise possible risks and health impacts that hazardous materials may pose during a demolition. The plan can involve items such as risk assessment, transport/disposal of hazardous materials and compliance with legislation.

Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?

Unless specifically exempted by WHS Regulation, a duty holder who engages in the removal and disposal of asbestos from a site must guarantee that removal is performed by a licensed asbestos removalist. The type of license required by the asbestos removalist is contingent on the type of asbestos and the amount of asbestos, or asbestos associated material. Major Projects Group holds an unrestricted (friable) asbestos licence.

How much does asbestos removal cost?

Every asbestos removal is unique in complexity and scale. There is no standardised way to assess how much asbestos removal will cost without first discussing your site, project or situation with an experienced asbestos removalist. At the Major Projects Group, we make the process of obtaining a price easy when you contact us with our details to obtain a quote.
