When you need an asbestos removalist
If you’re thinking of doing any kind of renovation in an area that contains asbestos - you HAVE to get the asbestos removed safely. When you go under renovation, you effectively become a PCBU (Person Conducting Business or Undertaking). Anyone who comes on-site to your property is therefore your responsibility. It is important that there’s no risk of them inhaling the asbestos when they’re undertaking any renovation work.
Be prepared and don’t let asbestos halt your renovation plans!
The difference between Class A & Class B asbestos removal
When you talk to an asbestos removal company, they may refer to the removal of asbestos as: 'class A' or 'class B' - which refers to the type of asbestos and how much can be removed.
Those with a class A removal license can remove:
Any amount of friable asbestos or ACM (a material that is easily reduced to a powder when crushed by hand like low density boards)
Any amount of non-friable asbestos or ACM (harder to extract the asbestos from the material as it it generally bonded to the surface)
Any amount of ACD (Asbestos Contaminated Debris)
Those with a class B removal license can remove:
Any amount of non-friable asbestos or ACM
ACD that is linked to the removal of any amount of non-friable asbestos or ACM
