Asbestos in government buildings

In government facilities constructed before the 1990s, asbestos was extensively used across structural, decorative, and mechanical components due to its fire-resistant and insulating properties. Common areas where asbestos can be found include:

  • Roofing: Roof sheeting and corrugated panels
  • Ceilings: Ceiling panels, insulation, and fireproofing materials
  • Walls & Eaves: Wall sheeting, partitions, and textured coatings
  • Flooring: Floor tiles, vinyl flooring, and black adhesive
  • Pipes and insulation: Air-conditioning duct insulation, heating ducts, pipes, and lagging
  • Utility shafts: Lift wells, service risers, and utility shafts
  • Eaves & cladding: External cladding, eaves, and facade materials
  • Boilers and heating systems: Insulation in boilers, furnaces, and heating ducts

Identifying and managing asbestos in government buildings is essential to protect the health and safety of visitors and workers.

If asbestos-containing material is damaged or disturbed during maintenance or renovation activities, it’s critical to follow appropriate safety protocols for removal and abatement to prevent the release of hazardous airborne asbestos fibres.

Conducting asbestos surveys for government properties

Government buildings, schools, offices, public buildings, and infrastructure often contain asbestos materials due to their construction dates. Conducting asbestos surveys requires a standardised process that identifies, documents, and assesses all asbestos-containing materials to inform your asbestos management plans and protect workers, contractors, and the public.

Our asbestos inspection services for government clients include:

  • Visual inspection and assessment: Systematic examination of structures to identify suspected ACM (asbestos-containing materials) in ceilings, walls, flooring, roofing, pipe insulation, and other building components.
  • Material sampling and laboratory analysis: Collection of samples from suspected asbestos materials and submission to NATA-accredited laboratories in Perth for definitive asbestos identification.
  • Risk assessment: Evaluation of asbestos exposure risks based on material condition, location, accessibility, and likelihood of disturbance during normal operations or maintenance activities.
  • Comprehensive survey reporting: Detailed documentation including site plans, material locations, photographs, laboratory results, risk ratings, and recommendations for asbestos management or removal.
  • Asbestos register development: Creation and updating of asbestos registers and asbestos clearance certificates that comply with WHS Act 2020 (WA) requirements for government facilities.

Types of asbestos surveys we conduct

Different government projects require different survey approaches. We provide both asbestos management surveys and demolition surveys depending on your specific needs:

Management surveys Asbestos management surveys are designed for occupied buildings where normal activities will continue. These surveys locate and assess asbestos-containing materials that could be disturbed during routine maintenance, refurbishment work, or daily operations. Management surveys inform your ongoing asbestos management plans and help you control asbestos exposure risks for staff, contractors, and visitors.
Demolition and refurbishment surveys When government facilities are undergoing major renovation or demolition, more intrusive demolition surveys are required. These comprehensive surveys identify all asbestos materials throughout the structure, including those hidden within walls, ceilings, and service ducts. Demolition surveys ensure contractors can work safely and that all asbestos is properly removed before refurbishment or demolition activities commence.

Government clients’ frequently asked questions

An asbestos survey report should include an executive summary, detailed site plans showing asbestos material locations, photographs of identified materials, laboratory analysis results from NATA-accredited facilities, material condition assessments, risk ratings, and clear recommendations for management or removal. Government clients also require compliance statements referencing applicable WHS legislation and complete audit trails.

Asbestos management surveys should be reviewed and updated regularly, typically every two to three years, or whenever significant changes occur to the building structure or use. Government facilities undergoing refurbishment or demolition require specific demolition surveys before work commences. Your asbestos register should be reviewed annually to ensure it remains current and accurate.

During an asbestos survey, a competent person conducts a systematic visual inspection of the building to identify suspected asbestos-containing materials. They collect samples from suspected materials for laboratory analysis, photograph all locations, document material conditions, assess exposure risks, and prepare a comprehensive report with recommendations. The survey follows a standardised process to ensure all accessible areas are examined thoroughly.

Yes, government organisations have legal requirements under WHS regulations to identify and manage asbestos in their facilities. If your building was constructed or renovated before 31 December 2003, you must assume asbestos is present unless you have a survey report confirming otherwise. Asbestos surveys are essential for compliance, protecting workers and contractors, and informing safe work practices.

An asbestos audit is a review of your organisation's asbestos management systems, registers, and compliance with legal requirements. It examines whether your asbestos register is current and accurate, whether your asbestos management plan is being implemented effectively, and whether control measures are adequate to prevent exposure. Government facilities should conduct regular asbestos audits to maintain compliance with WorkSafe WA requirements.

We conduct asbestos surveys using a standardised process: pre-survey planning and consultation, systematic visual inspection of all accessible areas, collection of samples from suspected asbestos materials, submission to NATA-accredited laboratories for analysis, risk assessment based on material condition and location, and preparation of comprehensive reports with photographic evidence and recommendations. All surveys are conducted by competent persons in accordance with the national guide for asbestos management.
