Asbestos is a dangerous substance that was used in a lot of building materials and products until the late 1980s. Despite a ban on the use of asbestos in Australia, it can still be found in many older buildings. Because of this, it’s important for building owners and employers to know a lot about asbestos and how to handle it in their buildings.
An asbestos register, this document provides a detailed record of all asbestos-containing materials (ACM) identified in a building or location, along with information on their location and condition. An asbestos register can help building owners and employers to manage the risks associated with ACM and ensure that the appropriate control measures are in place.
Overall, Division 6 reports and asbestos registers are essential tools for ensuring the safe management of asbestos in the workplace. With these documents in place, building owners and employers can protect their workers and the wider community from the dangers of asbestos exposure.
Additional duties apply under Part 4.3 of the OHS Regulations when performing refurbishment, demolition, or asbestos work. Division 6 asbestos reports specify demolition or refurbishment requirements.
