A-Class (Friable) Asbestos Removal
Class A asbestos removal refers to the licensed removal of friable asbestos — any material containing asbestos that can be crumbled, pulverised, or reduced to powder by hand pressure when dry. Friable asbestos poses a significantly higher health risk due to its ability to release airborne fibres easily.
Common examples
Pipe lagging, insulation boards, sprayed coatings, textured ceilings, vinyl floor tiles
What this includes:
B-Class (Non-Friable) Asbestos Removal
Class B asbestos removal covers the removal of bonded (non-friable) asbestos, which is asbestos material mixed with a bonding compound like cement or resin. These materials are more stable and less likely to release dangerous fibres into the air unless disturbed, cut, or damaged.
Common examples
Asbestos cement cladding, corrugated roofing, Decromastic roof tiles, vinyl flooring, eaves
What this includes:
Asbestos Sampling & Testing
Asbestos sampling and testing is the process of identifying the presence and type of asbestos in building materials through professional sample collection and accredited laboratory analysis. It is a critical first step before any renovation, demolition, or asbestos removal work.
Common examples
Pre-renovation surveys, pre-demolition surveys, asbestos management plans, health and safety audits
What this includes:
Encapsulation & Containment
Encapsulation and containment are specialised asbestos management techniques used to safely control asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) that are in good condition and not immediately requiring removal. These methods are often used as interim or long-term solutions to reduce the risk of asbestos fibre release.
Common examples
Commercial buildings, industrial sites, rental properties, heritage buildings
What this includes:
Safe Disposal
Safe disposal is the final and critical step in asbestos management, involving the secure handling, transport, and disposal of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) at approved waste facilities. This process ensures that asbestos does not pose a health risk to workers, the public, or the environment.
Common examples
Post-removal waste, building demolition waste, renovation debris containing ACMs
