Conducting asbestos surveys for insurance companies

Insurance companies require detailed asbestos surveys to accurately assess the risk profile of properties they cover. Professional asbestos surveys identify the location, type, and condition of asbestos-containing materials, enabling insurers to determine appropriate premiums and coverage levels.

For insurers managing commercial property, residential portfolios or industrial assets, asbestos surveys are essential to:

Assess risk accurately: Identifying all asbestos materials allows insurance companies to evaluate potential health and legal exposure risks for property owners and occupants.
Determine appropriate coverage: Comprehensive survey reports inform insurance coverage decisions and premium calculations based on the actual presence and condition of asbestos materials.
Support compliance requirements: Insurance companies need documented evidence that their clients meet WorkSafe WA legal requirements for asbestos management and workplace health and safety.
Facilitate remedial action: Survey reporting identifies where remedial action or removal work is required, helping insurance companies guide their clients toward compliant solutions.
Protect business operations: Accurate asbestos surveys help prevent unexpected exposure incidents that could disrupt business operations or result in significant claims.

What an asbestos survey includes

When we conduct asbestos surveys for insurance companies, our process is thorough and systematic:

                                1. Visual inspection
                                A competent person performs a detailed visual inspection of the structure, examining key areas where asbestos-containing materials are commonly found in Perth properties built before 1990.
                            

                                2. Sample collection
                                Suspected asbestos materials are sampled and sent to a NATA-accredited laboratory in Perth for analysis and confirmation.
                            

                                3. Risk assessment
                                We assess the condition of identified asbestos materials and evaluate the likelihood of airborne asbestos fibres being released.
                            

                                4. Documentation
                                All findings are compiled into a comprehensive survey report with photographs, material locations, condition assessments, and risk ratings.
                            

                                5. Asbestos register
                                We prepare or update the asbestos register, a legal requirement for commercial properties and workplace health compliance.
                            

                                6. Recommendations
                                The survey report includes clear recommendations for asbestos management, monitoring, or removal based on the condition and location of materials.
                            

Asbestos register and asbestos management plan for insurance companies

For insurance companies managing commercial properties, an up-to-date asbestos register and asbestos management plan are essential components of effective risk management:

Asbestos register: A detailed record of all identified or suspected asbestos-containing materials, including their location, type, condition, and risk assessment. The asbestos register must be kept current and accessible to contractors, facility managers, and workers.
Asbestos management plan: A comprehensive plan outlining how asbestos materials will be managed, monitored, and maintained to prevent exposure. The plan identifies control measures, regular inspection schedules, and procedures for demolition or refurbishment work.
Meeting legal requirements: Under WA Work Health & Safety regulations, property owners and managers must maintain an asbestos register and management plan. Insurance companies require this documentation to verify their clients’ compliance and manage asbestos exposure risks.
Supporting insurance coverage: Accurate registers and management plans provide insurers with the information needed to assess risk profiles and determine appropriate coverage levels.

We coordinate the preparation of asbestos certificates of clearance, asbestos registers and management plans that meet WorkSafe WA requirements and provide insurance companies with the detailed documentation they need for risk assessment and compliance verification.

Insurance companies’ frequently asked questions

What should be included in an asbestos survey report?

An asbestos survey report should include a detailed visual inspection record, laboratory analysis results from NATA-accredited testing, photographs of suspected and confirmed asbestos materials, exact location mapping within the structure, condition assessment of materials, risk ratings, and clear recommendations for management or removal.

The report must also comply with WorkSafe WA requirements and provide insurance companies with accurate information for risk assessment.

How often does an asbestos survey need to be done?

Asbestos surveys should be conducted before any demolition or refurbishment work begins. For existing buildings, surveys are required when the property changes ownership, when insurance coverage is being assessed, or when the condition of known asbestos materials has deteriorated.

Regular inspections of identified asbestos materials should occur according to the schedule outlined in the asbestos management plan, typically annually or more frequently for materials in poor condition.

Is an asbestos survey required?

Under WA Work Health & Safety regulations, property owners and managers must identify asbestos-containing materials in their buildings.

An asbestos survey is required before demolition or refurbishment work, and is essential for insurance companies assessing risk profiles and determining appropriate coverage. Commercial properties must maintain an asbestos register based on survey findings to meet legal requirements and ensure workplace health and safety.

What is the process during an asbestos survey?

During an asbestos survey, our licenced professionals conduct a thorough visual inspection of the building, examining areas where asbestos materials are commonly found. Suspected asbestos materials are sampled and sent to a NATA-accredited laboratory for analysis.

They document all findings with photographs, assess the condition and risk level of materials, and prepare a comprehensive report with recommendations for management or removal. The survey informs the asbestos management and removal plan.

What is an asbestos management plan?

An asbestos management plan is a comprehensive document outlining how asbestos-containing materials in a building will be managed, monitored, and maintained to prevent exposure.

The plan identifies control measures, regular inspection schedules, procedures for demolition or refurbishment work, and responsibilities for managing asbestos safely. Under WorkSafe WA requirements, commercial property owners must maintain an asbestos management plan as part of their workplace health and safety obligations.

What must the asbestos register contain?

The asbestos register must contain detailed information about all identified or suspected asbestos-containing materials in a building, including their exact location, type of asbestos, quantity and condition, risk assessment rating, and recommendations for management. The register must be kept up to date, accessible to contractors and workers, and reviewed regularly.

For insurance companies, an accurate asbestos register is essential for assessing risk profiles and verifying compliance with legal requirements.
