Add a warning sticker to your home....

While there is no requirement to identify asbestos in your domestic home, warning tradespeople and contractors that asbestos may be present will assist them to safely carry out work at your house.

A warning sticker could inform and help them to avoid exposure to asbestos fibres. It could also help reduce the risk of exposure to you or other members of your family as a result of a tradesperson unknowingly disturbing a product containing asbestos.

To know whether your home contains asbestos, consider:

the age of your house – as a general rule, if your house was built:
before the mid-1980s it is highly likely that it has asbestos-containing materials
between the mid-1980s and 1990 it is likely that it has asbestos-containing materials
after 1990 it is highly unlikely that it has asbestos-containing materials. However, it is possible some houses built in the 1990s and early 2000s may still have used asbestos cement materials until the total ban in December 2003.
the material or products used when constructing the home or subsequent renovations (e.g. asbestos-cement sheeting for interior/exterior walls, ceilings and roofs, gaskets, asbestos backed vinyl or vinyl tiles; sealants and mastics)
whether all the asbestos has been previously removed during renovation. Do not assume that all asbestos has been removed. Some renovators may simply have sheeted over the top of asbestos sheeting or there may be other building products used that you are unaware contain asbestos.
How do I indicate there may be asbestos?
You can apply a sticker to warn visiting tradespeople, contractors or members of the household that some areas of the house may contain asbestos. Common areas the labels could be fixed to include the switchboard, meter box, cupboard door under laundry, linen cupboard door or some other common areas where tradespeople may see the warning.

Does your workplace have an Asbestos management plan?. ASB Environmental Services - Asbestos Removal & HSE Advisory Services can help with your needs.

An Asbestos Management Plan helps people with management and control of buildings and other relevant structures to prevent exposure to airborne asbestos fibres by their staff and site visitors. This person must take reasonable steps to label and record asbestos in a register and inform everyone on the premises where asbestos is present, the consequences of exposure to asbestos and other appropriate control measures.

The plan should set out clear aims, stating what is going to be done, when it is going to be done, and how it is going to be done.

An asbestos management plan must be written in relation to identified or assumed asbestos or ACM, and for naturally occurring asbestos at a workplace.

The plan must be readily accessible to workers and others at the workplace, kept up to date, and be reviewed at least once every five years.

What rules apply to asbestos in the home?

Dealing with asbestos is the responsibility of the homeowner.

All asbestos materials become dangerous when they are damaged, disturbed or deteriorating.

Everyone has a duty under common law and public health laws to take reasonable care not to cause harm to another person. This includes preventing the release of airborne asbestos fibres.

Asbestos presents a very real health risk if:

*You renovate without first finding out if your home contains asbestos
*You don’t use asbestos professionals to make it safe or remove it
*You work with asbestos and are not trained to do so, and you do not have the right tools and protective equipment.

There are some simple steps you can take to be safe:

*Know where asbestos could be in your home. If in doubt, get the product tested, or assume it is asbestos
*Plan ahead to prevent disturbing and releasing asbestos fibres, especially when renovating
*Safely remove it if damaged or in poor condition
*Engage a licensed asbestos removalist like ASB Environmental Services - Asbestos Removal & HSE Advisory Services when undertaking major home renovations or demolitions where asbestos might be present.

A home or residence can become a workplace when a tradesperson performs work at the property. This could be for any jobs from painting and electrical work, to full home renovations. This means that work health and safety (WHS) laws apply to the work being carried out. This is the case even if you don’t own the property. The legal duties are placed on the contractor not the home occupier.
