Supporting insurance assessments with asbestos testing and removal

Insurance providers and property managers often need reliable information about asbestos before repair, remediation or reinstatement works can proceed. Rapid Asbestos Removals can assist by arranging asbestos sampling, NATA-accredited laboratory testing and removal services where asbestos is confirmed.

This information can help stakeholders understand the scope of work required and make informed decisions about managing the affected property. This is essential to:

  • Assess property risks accurately: Testing and identifying suspected asbestos materials allows insurance companies to evaluate potential health and legal exposure risks for property owners and occupants, providing clearer information before repair, renovation or removal works begin.
  • Support repair and remediation decisions: Confirmed asbestos results help determine whether materials need to be managed, removed or included within wider property works.
  • Support compliance requirements: Insurance companies need documented evidence that their clients meet WorkSafe WA legal requirements for asbestos management and workplace health and safety.
  • Provide removal documentation: Following asbestos removal, Rapid provides relevant documentation including removal records and disposal information for property records.
  • Reduce project delays and protect business operations: Early testing and clear communication help prevent unexpected asbestos discoveries from delaying repair, maintenance or renovation works.

We are equipped to manage bonded, non-friable asbestos removal projects across residential, commercial and industrial properties, with testing, disposal and project documentation supporting the removal process.

What Rapid can assist with

Rapid Asbestos Removals can assist insurance companies, property managers and clients with:

1. Review and inspection We inspect suspected materials and arrange asbestos sampling where confirmation is required, examining key areas where asbestos-containing materials are commonly found in Perth properties built before 1990.
2. Asbestos sampling and laboratory testing Suspected asbestos materials are sampled and sent to a NATA-accredited laboratory in Perth for analysis to confirm whether asbestos is present. Where Rapid is contracted to complete the removal work, asbestos testing is provided free of charge.
3. Removal planning Once asbestos has been confirmed, we develop a removal plan based on the material type, location and project requirements.
4. Licensed asbestos removal Our Class B licensed team removes bonded, non-friable asbestos using appropriate controls and compliant work practices.
5. Documentation and disposal We provide relevant removal documentation and disposal records following completion of the work.
6. Clearance coordination Where independent assessment, air monitoring or clearance is required, we can help coordinate the appropriate professionals and work alongside them to support project completion.

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.

For commercial properties, asbestos registers and management plans play an important role in managing asbestos risks over time. Where these documents are required, Rapid can assist by providing asbestos testing information, removal documentation and working alongside the appropriate professionals involved in preparing or updating asbestos records and certificates of clearance.

Insurance companies’ frequently asked questions

Rapid Asbestos Removals holds a current Class B Asbestos Removal Licence (WR2032) and is audited by WorkSafe WA annually. We maintain $20 million Public Liability Insurance, $1 million Statutory Liability and Workers Compensation, providing commercial clients with confidence that their asbestos removal project is being completed by a properly licensed and insured contractor.

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.

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.

If you need help determining whether asbestos needs to be identified or tested before works begin, Rapid Asbestos Removals can assist with suspected asbestos inspections, arrange sampling and NATA-accredited laboratory testing, and help determine the appropriate next step.

  • Testing & sampling: NATA-accredited laboratory testing
  • Class B removal: Bonded, non-friable asbestos removal
  • Disposal: Compliant asbestos waste disposal
  • Documentation: Certificate of Asbestos Removal and disposal records
  • Coordination: Independent clearance and air monitoring coordination where required

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.

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.

Our commercial asbestos removal pricing includes government-related permits and licensing requirements, site visits, project planning, JSA/SWMS documentation, a Certificate of Asbestos Removal, asbestos waste disposal receipt and Certificate of Currency for insurance.

As commercial projects can vary significantly, we arrange an onsite meeting to understand the scope and timeframes before providing a quote.
