How to remove asbestos yourself If you decide to remove asbestos yourself, follow guidance from Asbestos in Victoria. There are currently no laws which apply to home owners in terms of having a duty to manage asbestos in a residential property. If you are having refurbishment works carried out in a particular room and suspect asbestos to be present, then samples can be taken by one of our surveyors and analysed in an independent laboratory.
Note that if you suspect asbestos to be present and are employing a contractor to carry out refurbishments on your behalf, then they should be informed prior to any works beginning. This is to ensure that asbestos is not disturbed or that an appropriate risk assessment is carried out. This is only usually the case if the material will likely be disturbed as a result of the refurbishment works. In this case, the material can either be removed by the householder or by a specialist asbestos removal contractor.
Note that some of the more dangerous types of asbestos must be removed using a licensed asbestos removal contractor. A full list of licensed contracts is available on the HSE website. If you are thinking of removing asbestos yourself, then make sure you wear the right protective equipment and follow safe working methods. Further information about safe working with asbestos can be found on the HSE website. Due to its versatility, asbestos can be found in many different places in domestic properties.
Asbestos materials can also be found on the outside of a property in the form of soffits, porches, rainwater goods and firebreaks. What if I don't have an Asbestos Survey carried out?
