Although the qualities such as heat resistance, toughness, and durability of asbestos made it a desired building material, it causes respiratory disease. Most homes from the 1990s have asbestos roofs, and recent studies have shown it as the cause of respiratory diseases with overexposure. For this reason, you need professional asbestos removal for Sunshine Coast buildings.
Whether removing asbestos from your home or workplace, there are different laws from the Queensland Government. Due to the dangers of asbestos fibres, only a certified contractor can safely handle and remove them. Understanding public health laws is crucial when removing asbestos-containing materials (ACM).
According to Queensland law, you can only use specified tools and approved work methods to prevent airborne asbestos fibres. Removers may not use power tools, high-pressure cleaners, abrasive blasting, and some household vacuum cleaners. The ideal solution is hiring a professional to remove asbestos elements and comply with local laws legally.
Only a licensed authority can move more than 175kg of asbestos waste. Furthermore, the materials must be in approved packaging and discarded at a local government-approved site.
Removing this harmful material is a complex process and can be stressful if you don’t know the legal implications. Allowing a reliable contractor like us to handle the task eliminates your stress because we have safe removal plans and considerable experience. These are the steps we take for effective and proper asbestos disposal:
When we visit your site, our ZKL Asbestos team members will evaluate the entire area to determine how much asbestos is present and conduct tests to confirm its presence. From the initial visit, we can formulate a strategy for the removal process and provide you with a detailed quotation for our services.
After you accept the quote, we will implement our plan by preparing the worksite. We will negate air pressure in the space to prevent airborne asbestos. We’ll ensure we follow the proper procedures when removing friable asbestos.
This stage of the process is crucial, and we’ll use our experience and skills to remove asbestos from the site. During this step, we take every precaution to minimise any effect on your immediate surroundings. After removing the asbestos, our team will thoroughly clean the area to ensure no asbestos fibres linger in the air.
Upon completion of the removal and cleaning of the space, we will issue you with a legal clearance certificate confirming that a professional has safely and legally removed the asbestos from the property. Consequently, you can confidently occupy the space again without worrying about asbestos fibres affecting your health.
Companies that can remove asbestos legally must have a Class A or Class B licence. Holders of a Class A license can remove any amount of powdery and crumbling (friable) asbestos. However, they can’t remove more than 10m2 of non-friable asbestos.
Contractors with a Class B licence can remove non-friable asbestos in areas of more than 10m2. Collaborating with a company with the correct licence is essential to remove the asbestos on your property legally.
