Common areas where mining operators encounter asbestos include:
Identifying and safely managing asbestos during mining project management activities is essential to protect mining personnel, contractors, and comply with WA Work Health and Safety legislation.

Mine site asbestos removal cost varies depending on several factors, including the scale of infrastructure, material type, remote location access requirements, and disposal needs. Pricing for mine site asbestos removal starts from $65 per square metre (minimum job $950 + GST).
For mining companies managing large-scale decommissioning projects, we provide competitive, locked-in pricing with no hidden costs. Asbestos testing is free when you contract us for the removal work, with samples analysed by NATA-accredited laboratories in Perth.
In Western Australia, it is illegal to remove more than 10 square metres of bonded (non-friable) asbestos without a Class B asbestos licence WA. A Class A asbestos removal licence is required for the removal of friable asbestos, which can be easily crumbled or reduced to powder by hand when dry.
We hold a Class B restricted asbestos removal licence and are fully equipped to manage non-friable asbestos removal across mining sites.
The Work Health and Safety (General) Regulations 2022 govern asbestos removal in Western Australia and require hazard identification, air monitoring, and licensed contractors. Legislation mandates that any significant asbestos removal work must notify WorkSafe WA at least five days prior to commencing.
Risk assessment and control measures must be implemented by a competent person before any asbestos work begins. An Asbestos Management Plan is required on mining sites and must include the identification and labelling of asbestos-containing materials. Our team manages this process for you, ensuring all regulatory requirements are met and work is carried out safely and in full compliance.
WorkSafe WA mandates that a clearance certificate must be issued following authorised asbestos removal work before reoccupation. Air monitoring and a clearance certificate are required for friable asbestos projects to ensure safe re-occupation of the area. Our team coordinates this process with independent hygienists, ensuring all clearances are properly obtained and the area is safe to re-enter.
All asbestos waste must be double-wrapped in 200-micron heavy-duty plastic sheeting, sealed with duct tape, and labelled accordingly. Waste materials must be double-wrapped, properly labelled, and disposed of at approved facilities according to Work Health and Safety (WHS) regulations. Our team handles the full process, from safe containment and transport through to compliant disposal, ensuring nothing is left to chance.
Mining operators most often encounter asbestos in infrastructure constructed before 1990, particularly from the 1950s to 1980s. It is commonly found in processing plant buildings, equipment insulation, accommodation and office buildings, workshop facilities, and storage structures across mine sites, including gold mining plants, copper mines, nickel mines, and quarry operations.
Naturally occurring asbestos must have specific controls in place during mining operations, including dust suppression and use of sealed mining equipment. Learn more about asbestos information relevant to mining operations.
