Asbestos and Renovations - Know Before You Start
Many older buildings and houses across WA still contain asbestos-containing materials (ACM), which can be friable or non-friable. Before any renovation, repair or demolition work, the person in control of the site must ensure asbestos is identified and recorded. A qualified assessor conducts an asbestos survey to determine if ACM is present and in what condition. The results are used to create an asbestos register, detailing the location, type, condition and photographs of all identified materials.
Friable Asbestos
- Can be crumbled, pulverized or reduced to a powder by hand pressure.
- Poses a higher health risk as it can easily release harmful fibres into the air, leading to serious health issues like asbestosis or mesothelioma.
- Examples include insulation around hot water pipes, ceiling tiles, asbestos rope and loose-fill asbestos.
Non-Friable Asbestos
- Mixed with cement or other hard bonding materials, making it less likely to release fibres.
- Considered lower risk but can still pose a danger if damaged.
- Examples include asbestos cement, asbestos cement sheeting (also known as ‘fibro’), roofing materials and vinyl asbestos floor tiles.
In summary, friable asbestos is more hazardous due to its ability to release
fibres easily, while non-friable asbestos is generally safer but can still be
dangerous if compromised.
This register is essential for planning safe work, preventing fibre release and protecting workers and occupants from exposure. Whether it’s a commercial building, residential renovation or demolition project, proper asbestos management is non-negotiable.
Renovating safely starts with knowing what you’re working with.
