By law, a commercial, industrial or community building in the ACT built before 31 December 2003 needs an Asbestos Register and Risk Assessment. A reinspection is required at least every five years, when requested by a health and safety representative, when asbestos is removed, disturbed, sealed or enclosed, when changes to a control measure are made, when the plan is no longer adequate or at intervals stated by the licensed Asbestos Assessor. Regulations do not require a private home to have an Asbestos Register but if you are undertaking renovations or demolition your DA may require you to have one. It is also good practice to know what materials are in your home so they can be managed effectively.
