Do I have asbestos in my workplace?

If you are working in a building built prior to 1987, it is likely that asbestos containing materials were used in the construction. Under the national Code of Practice it is a requirement that all buildings have an asbestos register.

The asbestos register lists the location, type and condition of the asbestos containing products identified on the premises. It also includes recommendations on making safe, management and removal of these products.

It is a further requirement that Occupational Health, Safety & Welfare regulations are followed. The Register assists you to undertsand the compliance requirements.

Your Asbestos Register Controller can explain the policies ansd obligations of your employer and your obligations and responibilities as an employee.

If you would like more information on your asbestos management policy, asbestos register, training in working with asbestos or advice on identification, maintenance, small jobs or emergencies please check the asbestos management services site of Carter Corporation, a company we have retained for this purpose.
