Welcome to
Australian Asbestos Removal Services
Asbestos is a naturally occurring
mineral and was used extensively for about 150 years.
It is versatile, plentiful and ideal as a fireproofing reinforcing
and insulation material. But is also a deadly killer.
Asbestos is a category 1 carcinogen and presents
an unacceptable level of health risk.
There are three main types of asbestos:
• Crocidolite-blue asbestos
• Amosite-brown asbestos
• Chrysotile-white asbestos
All three types pose a risk of cancer and are now
banned
What was asbestos
most commonly used for
One of the most commonly used building products
in Australia from the 1940’s until late 1992
was fibro (fiber cement sheeting) an asbestos containing
material(ACM). Fibro was used extensively for wall
cladding and sheeting, ceilings, fencing and roofing material
(commonly known as super six) the asbestos-based
roof sheeting and fence material, because it is
constantly exposed to the elements it poses a high
risk as it will suffer weathering and has a limited
life before it starts to break down thus constantly
releasing fibers into the surrounding atmosphere
every time the wind blows or it rains or hails.
