Asbestos Facts - What is it?
​
A natural, fibrous mineral. Valued for its durability, fire resistance and excellent insulating properties, it was used in the Australian building industry between the 1940s and late 1980s. Asbestos is difficult to identify with the naked eye and we recommend a visit by a qualified occupational hygienist (usually an environmental scientist) or licensed asbestos removal contractor can confirm whether asbestos is present in a house or apartment .

For further information you may contact Work Cover to obtain the guidelines for the safe removal of asbestos. Generally, the presence of asbestos in home building materials is not risky, unless it is broken, in a poor or deteriorated condition. In buildings, asbestos fibres are found either firmly or loosely bound in a number of products. Firmly Bound Asbestos is generally found in corrugated sheeting, roof shingles, vinyl floor tiles, flexible building boards and imitation brick cladding. Loosely bound asbestos may be found in older forms of insulation used in heaters and stoves
Types of Asbestos:
-
Friable – asbestos that is easily crushed into a powder. Friable asbestos has a higher risk of airborne fibres being released when it is handled.
-
Non-Friable (bonded) – asbestos that is mixed with cement or resin to keep fibres in place. Non-friable asbestos poses a risk of releasing airborne fibres if it gets damaged.
