Asbestos Consultants in Canterbury, New Zealand
Firms providing asbestos surveys, risk assessments, and compliance advice.
Asbestos assessors and consultants working in Canterbury operate under WorkSafe New Zealand's asbestos licensing system.
Any building in Canterbury built or renovated before 2000 could contain asbestos. Importing asbestos-containing products into New Zealand has been illegal since 2016.
A WorkSafe assessor licence, granted to individuals rather than businesses, is required for air monitoring, clearance inspections and clearance certificates on Class A (friable) removal jobs. For Class B jobs, an independent competent person can do this work.
Samples taken to identify asbestos go to a laboratory accredited by IANZ or NATA, or one WorkSafe has approved while its accreditation is under way.
After the Canterbury earthquakes, EQC guidance said asbestos testing must be done before repairs where asbestos may be present, and the cost may be included in an EQCover settlement. For homes in the On-sold support package built before 2000, the builder arranges an asbestos refurbishment survey once affected areas are known.
For disposal, EcoDrop Metro Place in Bromley is the only Christchurch City Council EcoDrop that takes asbestos, and Kate Valley Landfill, run by Transwaste Canterbury, is one of a few consented sites in the region.
We currently list 20 asbestos consultants in Canterbury. 10 also do removal, 3 offer laboratory testing and 3 are occupational hygienists.
Before you engage a consultant, ask whether they hold a WorkSafe assessor licence if your job involves Class A removal.
