Hazardous materials audit (Division 5)

Danger Asbestos yellow warning tape close up

Under the Occupational Health and Safety Regulations 2017, an employer or a person who manages or controls a workplace has a duty to ensure that all asbestos containing materials present in a workplace are identified and appropriately managed.  To facilitate compliance with this workplace requirement, Atma Environmental provides the asbestos audits and Registers that are required under Division 5 of the Regulations for compliance, which is commonly called a Hazardous Materials Audit.

If your building or workplace does not have an existing Hazardous Materials Register, or it has been >5 years since your register was made (and it needs updating), contact us for a free fee quotation.

Hazardous materials audit (Division 6)

Under Division 6 of the Regulations, further requirements in relation to building refurbishment or demolition exist. To identify and remove any hazardous building materials prior to the planned works, a Division 6 Hazardous Building Materials Audit is completed.  This involves review of any existing Register and intrusive sampling of the building fabric to confirm the nature and extent of hazardous building materials, such as:

  • Asbestos (friable and non-friable)
  • Synthetic mineral fibres
  • Lead-based paints
  • Polychlorinated biphenols (PCBs)
