Asbestos in government buildings

In older government facilities, asbestos can be found in a range of building materials and services across structural, decorative, and mechanical components because of 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.

Asbestos testing and removal for government properties

Government buildings, schools, offices, public buildings, and infrastructure often contain asbestos materials due to their construction dates. When suspected asbestos is identified during maintenance, refurbishment or demolition, confirming the material and determining the appropriate next step is important before work proceeds.

Rapid Asbestos Removals can assist by reviewing available asbestos information, inspecting suspected materials and arranging sampling and NATA-accredited laboratory testing where required. Where asbestos is confirmed and falls within our Class B licence scope, our licensed team can complete the removal and compliant disposal.

Our asbestos services for government clients include:

  • Visual inspection: Systematic examination of structures to identify suspected ACM (asbestos-containing materials) in ceilings, walls, flooring, roofing, pipe insulation, and other building components.
  • Project assessment: Review of the available asbestos information, site conditions, access requirements and proposed works to help determine the appropriate removal approach.
  • Material sampling and laboratory analysis: Collection of samples from suspected asbestos materials and submission to NATA-accredited laboratories in Perth for definitive asbestos identification.
  • Asbestos removal and disposal: Safe removal of bonded, non-friable asbestos materials within our Class B licence scope, including compliant packaging, transport and disposal, with relevant removal and disposal documentation provided.
  • Clearance coordination and documentation: Where required, we coordinate independent clearance inspections and air monitoring with the appropriately qualified professionals, while providing the relevant Rapid removal documentation and supporting project records.

Supporting government refurbishment and maintenance projects

When government buildings undergo refurbishment, maintenance or demolition, asbestos often needs to be addressed before other works can proceed. Rapid can assist with suspected asbestos testing, bonded non-friable asbestos removal and compliant disposal, working alongside the relevant project managers, contractors and independent professionals where required.

Different government projects require different approaches:

Planned maintenance We can assist with identifying and testing suspected asbestos materials before maintenance, repairs or upgrades begin, helping contractors understand what they may encounter before work starts.
Refurbishment and fit-outs Where bonded, non-friable asbestos needs to be removed as part of a refurbishment, our licensed team can plan and complete the removal around other trades, site access requirements and project timelines.
Demolition and redevelopment Where asbestos needs to be removed before demolition or redevelopment, we can complete the removal and compliant disposal of bonded, non-friable materials within our Class B licence scope.
Occupied government facilities Where facilities remain operational, we can work with project managers and facility teams to plan removal around occupants, access requirements and day-to-day operations, helping minimise disruption.
Urgent or unexpected asbestos discoveries If suspected asbestos is uncovered during maintenance or construction, we can assist with testing and determine the appropriate next step before work continues.

Our approach

  1. Review, testing and coordination: We work with your facility managers and health and safety teams to understand site-specific requirements, access constraints, and operational considerations.
  2. Coordinated site access: We schedule asbestos remediation to minimise disruption to government operations and coordinate with security protocols and site inductions.
  3. Customised solutions and removal planning: Based on the available asbestos information, site assessment and scope of work, we develop a tailored asbestos removal plan that prioritises safety, efficiency, and minimal disruption to your operations.
  4. Safe asbestos removal: Our team employs advanced techniques and state-of-the-art equipment to safely remove and dispose of asbestos, ensuring full compliance with WorkSafe WA regulations and minimising exposure risks.
  5. NATA-accredited testing: Where testing is required, samples are submitted to a NATA-accredited laboratory in Perth for analysis, providing definitive asbestos identification you can rely on.
  6. Disposal and documentation: We handle the safe disposal of asbestos waste in accordance with environmental guidelines and provide detailed documentation of the removal process, including certificates of removal, disposal receipts, JSA/SWMS, and certificates of currency for insurance.
  7. Independent clearance coordination: Following licensed asbestos removal work, an independent clearance inspection is required before the affected area can be reoccupied. For workplace projects, Rapid can help coordinate the appropriately qualified independent professional and work alongside them as part of the wider project process. Air monitoring may also be appropriate depending on the type and risk of the work.
