Frequently Asked Questions

When do I need an asbestos survey in New Zealand?
Under the Health and Safety at Work (Asbestos) Regulations 2016, a PCBU must ensure asbestos is identified before any work that could disturb it, and must manage asbestos in buildings they own or control. A survey by a competent consultant is the usual way to identify material before refurbishment or demolition. WorkSafe NZ publishes the current requirements.
What records should an asbestos consultant produce in New Zealand?
A consultant should provide an asbestos management plan and the records a PCBU needs to manage identified material, including its location, type and condition. For refurbishment or demolition, the survey must cover the work area so asbestos can be removed before work begins. WorkSafe NZ sets out the duties for PCBUs.
What does an asbestos consultant do?
They identify, assess, and advise on how to manage asbestos-containing materials in buildings. That usually means doing asbestos surveys, writing risk assessments and management plans, monitoring air quality during removal work, and carrying out clearance inspections once the removal is done.
When do I need an asbestos survey?
Before any renovation, demolition, or refurbishment of a building built before 1990 in Australia or 2000 in New Zealand. The survey tells you what asbestos is present, where it is, and what condition it is in, so you can plan the right course of action before any work starts.
What is the difference between a management survey and a refurbishment/demolition survey?
A management survey covers the accessible parts of a building and looks for asbestos that could be disturbed during day-to-day use or routine maintenance. The output is an asbestos register and management plan. A refurbishment or demolition survey goes further. The assessor will open up walls, lift ceiling tiles, and check under floors to find everything in the areas where building work is planned. If you are renovating or demolishing, you need the refurbishment/demolition survey. Both Australia and New Zealand require the right survey type before work starts.
