Frequently Asked Questions

What do asbestos industry associations do in South Australia?

Industry associations support removalists, consultants and related trades by promoting codes of practice, running or accrediting training, and keeping members current as the rules change. In South Australia, membership sits alongside the licensing and compliance requirements administered by SafeWork SA, and association directories can help building owners find competent providers.

What asbestos industry associations operate in Australia?

The Asbestos Removal Contractors Association (ARCA) represents licensed removal companies. The Australian Institute of Occupational Hygienists (AIOH) covers hygienists working with asbestos and other hazardous substances. At the federal level, the Asbestos and Silica Safety and Eradication Agency (ASSEA, formerly ASEA) coordinates the national strategic plans for asbestos and silica. It is not a regulator or licensing body. There are also state-level bodies like the Asbestos Diseases Foundation of Australia, and each state's WorkSafe or SafeWork authority handles regulation directly.

What asbestos industry associations operate in New Zealand?

The NZ Demolition and Asbestos Association (NZDAA) represents removal contractors. The New Zealand Occupational Hygiene Society (NZOHS) covers exposure assessment and air monitoring professionals. WorkSafe New Zealand is the main regulator and publishes guidance, codes of practice, and registers of licensed asbestos workers. The National Asbestos Medical Panel provides clinical guidance on asbestos-related diseases.

Why should I choose a business that belongs to an industry association?

Association members usually commit to a code of conduct, carry appropriate insurance, and do ongoing professional development. ARCA in Australia, for example, audits its members and requires proof of licensing. Membership is not a guarantee of quality on its own, but it does mean the business has some peer oversight beyond the bare regulatory minimum.
