Licensed Asbestos Removalists in Tasmania

Asbestos Removal in Tasmania

Asbestos removal in Tasmania is regulated by WorkSafe Tasmania under the Work Health and Safety Act 2012 and Work Health and Safety Regulations 2012. Tasmania's older housing stock means asbestos-containing materials are widespread — particularly in homes built between the 1940s and 1980s across Hobart's northern suburbs, Launceston, Devonport, and Burnie. Fibro cladding, asbestos cement roofing, and vinyl floor tiles are among the most commonly found asbestos materials in Tasmanian homes. The state's cooler climate also means that older buildings may contain asbestos insulation materials, which are classified as friable and require a Class A licensed removalist. WorkSafe Tasmania requires removalists to notify the regulator at least five days before commencing licensed asbestos removal work and to engage a licensed assessor for clearance inspections.
