All you Need to Know About Asbestos Law in Queensland
Owners of commercial buildings need to be aware of ACM audit re-inspection dates to ensure they remain compliant.
Did you know? A person with management or control of a workplace must ensure any asbestos in the building is first of all identified. The location of the asbestos then needs to be clearly recorded in a register, and then supported with a written asbestos management plan.
A quick overview of asbestos containing materials legislation in Queensland:
- Asbestos registers are required for buildings that were constructed ‘prior to December 31st 1989’.
- The ACM’s – or asbestos containing materials – need to be identified by a competent person who has acquired thorough training, and possesses the qualification and/or skill to carry out this task (such as a licensed asbestos assessor).
- As per Queensland Government legislation, asbestos registers need to be maintained. This means you need to be aware of the ACM audit re-inspection dates that relate to your building, which currently sits at a maximum period of 5-year intervals.
- Failure to comply with asbestos containing materials legislation in Queensland can be an expensive process for building owners. So, if you’re looking for independent building consultancy advice, you want it to provide you with a compliant solution that helps you meet your legislative obligations.
