The importance of asbestos inspections

A vital aspect of Australia’s plan to become asbestos free by the year 2030 is the inspection of homes, schools and all public buildings in order to identify any presence of asbestos. The discovery of asbestos will allow for the appropriate action to be taken to dispose such dangerous material.

Asbestos is an extremely dangerous material and when inhaled it may cause very serious diseases such as asbestosis and mesothelioma. Therefore the need for asbestos inspection audits is vital to ensure the safety of all people who come in contact with buildings that are contaminated. The identification of asbestos contributes to the quick and effective removal of the material and will thus reduce the number of people suffering from the cancer mesothelioma, the incidence of which is expected to rise in Australia.
