Get a Clearance Certificate and ensure compliance with NSW regulations.

Our Focus

Hunter Geotechnical Services provides thorough Asbestos Clearance Inspections, ensuring your site is safe and compliant.

Asbestos Clearance Inspections are required after asbestos removal to confirm that the site is safe for reoccupation or further work. This inspection process involves visual checks and air monitoring (mandatory for friable removal and recommended for bonded asbestos removal works) to ensure that asbestos-containing materials have been effectively removed. A Clearance Certificate is then issued to confirm compliance with NSW asbestos removal regulations.

Hunter Geotechnical Services provides Asbestos Clearance Inspections across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, the Hunter Valley, the Mid-North Coast, and NSW. Our qualified inspectors ensure that your site meets all regulatory standards, providing peace of mind that your site is asbestos-free and safe for use. With our thorough inspections and air monitoring, you can move forward confidently with your project.

Overview of Asbestos Clearance Inspections

Asbestos Clearance Inspections are conducted after asbestos removal to ensure that the removal area of the site is free from asbestos and safe for reoccupation or further work. These inspections are a mandatory requirement under NSW regulations.

Key Components of an Asbestos Clearance Inspection

  1. Visual Inspection
    The process begins with a thorough visual inspection of the site to ensure that asbestos-containing materials have been removed / encapsulated according to the required standards.
  2. Air Monitoring
    Air monitoring is recommended to be undertaken if the site is close to sensitive receptors (schools, residential areas) and must be undertaken for friable asbestos removal works.
  3. Clearance
    Once the site passes the visual inspection and air monitoring (if undertaken), a Clearance Certificate is issued. This certificate is a legal document that confirms the removal area is free from asbestos and safe for occupancy or further work.
  4. Compliance
    Asbestos Clearance Inspections must comply with the Work Health and Safety (WHS) regulations and the NSW Code of Practice, How to Safely Remove Asbestos. Compliance is essential for legal and safety reasons.
