1. Asbestos is a mineral formed over thousands of years when hydrothermal fluids passed through rock, and it comes in different types like chrysotile, amosite, and crocidolite.
2. Asbestos was widely used in the 20th century for its properties like strength and heat resistance, and was found in materials like insulation and roofing.
3. Exposure to asbestos fibers can lead to diseases like asbestosis, mesothelioma, and lung cancer, which can be fatal. Proper handling and containment of asbestos materials is important to avoid exposure.
Undertaking asbestos testing is the only way to prove whether a material contains asbestos or not. Our contractors will conduct a thorough asbestos inspection at your premises. Our primary goal is to ensure the highest degree of safety and compliance when performing any type of asbestos testing job.

This document provides an overview of asbestos awareness training for schools. It discusses why asbestos knowledge is important, what asbestos is and how it was commonly used in buildings including schools. It outlines how to manage asbestos risks, including ensuring the asbestos register is maintained and visual inspections are conducted. A case study shows how failing to properly manage asbestos led to prosecution. The document emphasizes that properly maintained asbestos is low risk, but damaged asbestos needs expert removal to prevent fiber release and health issues. It provides resources for addressing asbestos questions or issues.
Amiante STR Ltd were instructed by the client to remove the asbestos insulation board wall panelling
to the client’s side of a partition wall. The A.I.B was present on both sides of the partition, however
removal of the other side was outside of the client’s scope of works therefore the internal face was
encapsulated with ET-150 Co-polymer emulsion paint, labelled & left in situ.
This document provides an asbestos awareness training presentation covering the following key points:
- The training is intended to meet EPA and OSHA requirements for those who may work with asbestos-containing materials. It does not train people to disturb asbestos but rather raises awareness of asbestos types, locations, and proper procedures.
- Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in building materials for its insulating and fire-resistant properties. Inhalation of asbestos fibers can lead to serious health issues.
- The training covers asbestos definitions, history of use, locations in buildings, and health effects of exposure to help trainees identify and safely handle asbestos-containing materials.
Even though the use of asbestos has been prohibited since 2003 in Australia, many old buildings still contain asbestos flooring, insulation, ceiling tiles, siding and other items. Hence, when renovation or refurbishment projects take place in the home or workspace, these things must be handled very carefully.
- Asbestos was commonly used in construction through the 20th century but poses serious health risks if damaged.
- Professional asbestos surveys and removal are required to identify asbestos, determine risks, and safely remove it.
- The costs of asbestos removal vary depending on the type, quantity, and location but typically range from £50-£200 for surveys, £8-£10 per square meter for encapsulation, £50 per square meter for full removal, and £350+ for repairs.
- Common asbestos removal projects like insulation, ceilings, or a garage roof on average cost £1000-£1350, £200+, and £400-£800 respectively.
