Do you need an asbestos inspection, or assistance in managing the risk of exposure to asbestos in your workplace? Perhaps your employees are working in an environment where asbestos could pose a risk, or you may be looking to buy or renovate an older home. Safe Environments provides NATA-accredited asbestos services across Australia, armed with the latest technology and information. Your Safe Environments consultant can test samples of building materials, survey commercial and residential sites, provide risk assessments and assist in the development of asbestos management plans as required, including emergency procedures. In addition, we can conduct air monitoring and clearance inspections when remediation takes place to reassure employees that it is safe to re-occupy the premises. Our full range of asbestos services can be found here.
Understanding the risks and knowing what to do in case of asbestos discovery or exposure can make all the difference to the health and safety of your staff and the general public. We are here to assist with the identification and management of asbestos, working with you to put strategies in place to control risk and minimise the potential for harm to health. Contact the team at Safe Environments now to arrange for an inspection and risk assessment, and to begin developing your asbestos management plan with an experienced advisor to ensure compliance with WHS regulations. If you have questions, you can read answers to our asbestos FAQs below or ask our team at any time.
Our team includes Licensed Asbestos Assessors (LAA) in regards to friable asbestos and our Principal Consultant is a Full Member of the Australian Institute of Occupational Hygienists (MAIOH).
If you suspect the presence of asbestos, we can arrange for a consultant to come onsite to take a sample for testing or we can test a sample that you collect and send to our Sydney laboratory for testing. If you choose to collect a sample yourself, please refer to our self-sampling instructions.
The presence of asbestos cannot be confirmed by the naked eye; it must be analysed under a microscope by a NATA accredited laboratory. One of our approved fibre identifiers will be able to identify which materials contain asbestos fibres by examining a sample in our laboratory. Read more

Yes, Safe Environments provides asbestos testing for all property types. Please contact our team and we’d be happy to provide a quote based on the specific requirements of your site.
Asbestos air monitoring is required for all friable asbestos removal work and for certification after removal. Air monitoring may also be conducted during removal of non-friable (bonded) asbestos as reassurance that there hasn’t been any significant fibre release.
A visual clearance inspection is conducted for all asbestos removal works and is required by law to ensure that the asbestos removal area is safe to re-occupy.
If you have had asbestos removed and you do not have a Clearance Certificate, then contact us today to arrange for an inspection that the area is safe to re-occupy.
We aim to provide the highest level of service and experience with competitive pricing. To arrange a quote for your individual needs, please contact our team.
