With extensive experience, we equip you with the tools to confidently face these audits and protect your organisation from potential risks.
Opira understands the critical importance of adhering to government legislation, particularly when dealing with asbestos removal. Any removal greater than 10m² or involving friable materials must be performed by a licensed asbestos removalist. Our team conducts a detailed analysis before any work begins, ensuring all actions align with legislative requirements. By partnering with Opira, you not only meet regulatory standards but also demonstrate a commitment to maintaining a safe and compliant workplace. Don’t leave compliance to chance—trust Opira to help your business stay ahead of these crucial regulatory changes.
If you’re concerned about collecting or identifying asbestos on-site, we are also available to conduct on-site asbestos surveys to determine potential sources of asbestos in your building.
Asbestos registry & surveys cover Friable materials (materials which may be broken or crushed with normal hand pressure allowing asbestos fibres to be released) must only be removed by a Class A licensed asbestos removalist. An independent licensed asbestos assessor must be engaged to undertake the asbestos air monitoring during the removal of the asbestos materials and conduct clearance inspections.
Bonded asbestos-containing materials > 10m2 must be removed by a Class B or Class A licensed asbestos removalist. An independent competent person or a licensed asbestos assessor must undertake the clearance inspection and issue the clearance report following the completed asbestos removal works.
Air monitoring must be conducted during the removal of friable asbestos materials and again for the clearance of the removal area(s). It is also highly recommended for asbestos air monitoring to be undertaken for B-Class non-friable asbestos removal works which may be close to public areas, other workers or to determine whether fibre suppression control measures are sufficient. Air monitoring must be conducted by a suitable experienced independent person.
Opira can assist with Asbestos registry & surveys, project management for asbestos removals, along with air monitoring and building asbestos surveys.
