Overview of Asbestos Health & Safety Services
HAZCON regularly travel the length and width of Australia auditing buildings before demolition or renovation, or on a 5 yearly schedule or after significant removal works, to update a buildings’ asbestos register to inform the building owner of the current state of asbestos containing materials onsite.
Whether you have 1 building, a school, or a portfolio of 500+ properties, we can project manage the roll out of nation-wide or state-wide audits in a sensitive way to fit in with the flow of your organisation.
Asbestos is heavily regulated by the OHS Regulations 2017 and this places a number of requirements onto Employers and persons who manage and control workplaces.
HAZCON personnel have many years’ experience in the asbestos field across a wide range of industries. We offer a full asbestos advisory service including audits, risk assessments, sample analysis, air monitoring and clearance inspections.
We also have a number of specific Asbestos Management Programs which will assist you to manage asbestos in the workplace. This can be in the form of an electronic database made available on your intranet or via a DVD based format.
HAZCON also provides training on your specific asbestos management policies and procedures to maintenance staff and we can update your Asbestos Register to ensure compliance with all legislative requirements.

A simulated practical work demonstration may involve spill management, where suitable material will be used by the student to demonstrate competency.
