Types of Inspections
Our asbestos inspections in Sydney can be conducted by our experienced consultants on residential, commercial and industrial properties.
-
Pre-Purchase Asbestos Inspection
Negotiate any asbestos problems before you settle with a thorough inspection of a property you’re potentially purchasing. We will inspect for asbestos items, their locations, and condition, and help you understand how you could manage it if you were to purchase the property.
-
Home Safety Asbestos Inspection
Knowing the location and condition of any asbestos materials in your home is important for the ongoing maintenance of the property and your safety. We can provide you with recommendations of how to care for and monitor your property.
-
Commercial or Residential Pre-Renovation/Demolition Asbestos Inspection (Divison 6 Asbestos Inspection)
Before you start a renovation you need to know what you’re dealing with. We will perform an intrusive inspection of any areas you plan to renovate. We will provide you with recommendations of how to manage the asbestos materials.
-
Commercial or Residential Pre-Renovation/Demolition Hazardous Material Inspection (Divison 6 Hazardous Material Inspection)
This inspection accounts for all asbestos-containing materials as well as Synthetic Mineral Fibre Products (SMF), Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs), Lead (Paints, Dust and Metalic Lead) and Ozone Depleating Substances. Before you start a renovation you need to know what you’re dealing with. We will perform an intrusive inspection of any areas you plan to renovate. We will provide you with recommendations of how to manage the hazardous materials.
-
Loose Fill Asbestos Insulation Inspection
Asbestos fibres were commonly used as loose fill insulation – particularly throughout Sydney and NSW. As part of our inspection service we will test two samples and analyse these in our NATA accredited lab. We will then provide you with recommendations of how to manage your asbestos materials.
-
Clearance Inspections
After asbestos removal has taken place the clearance inspection process ensures that area is safe to re-occupy. The way in which this inspection is conducted is dependent on the type of asbestos that has been removed – friable or non-friable.
-
Management Inspections
An asbestos management inspection identifies asbestos and asbestos containing materials on a property or in a building to help create an asbestos register. An asbestos register contains information regarding all asbestos present on a property, including the location and condition of the asbestos.
Our Asbestos Inspection Process
All Greenlight asbestos inspections are conducted by a highly qualified and experienced occupational hygiene consultant. Depending on the type of inspection, our consultant will perform a visual or intrusive inspection, potentially taking samples of materials, as well as photos of the home, property or building. These samples will be tested in our NATA accredited lab, and along with the photos we take during the inspection, will be included in a comprehensive report.
Our report will identify the location, condition and extent in square metres of any asbestos materials. We include photos in the report, as well as outline areas that are safe and those that are not. When asbestos is present, we will also make a risk assessment and provide you with specific recommendations for each relevant asbestos material.

Why do I need an asbestos inspection?
An asbestos inspection is required for many different reasons and in many different circumstances. For workplaces, an asbestos inspection should be conducted to ensure that your workplace is in compliance with New South Wales SafeWork regulations. The inspection will help to identify any asbestos present which will then determine whether an asbestos register and asbestos management plan is required. Before any demolition work takes place, whether on a commercial or residential property, an asbestos inspection should be conducted, so as to avoid any accidental exposure. An inspection should also be considered for any property where maintenance or renovations will be occurring if the property was built prior to December 31st, 2003. Asbestos use was banned in Australia on that date. Ensuring you are managing the risks of asbestos exposure for anyone who may enter a property is extremely important as asbestos exposure can have significant health consequences.
-
Can I just submit a sample for testing rather than have an asbestos inspection?
Depending on your circumstances, you may only need to submit a sample for testing rather than have an inspection – for example, if you’re just looking for peace of mind or considering a small renovation at home. However, if you own or manage a workplace, you must have an inspection on your property to ensure that you’re compliant with NSW SafeWork regulations.
-
I’m renovating my home, should I have an asbestos inspection?
If your home was built prior to December 31st, 2003 and you’re planning to renovate then we highly recommend having an asbestos inspection before commencing any work. An asbestos inspection can save you time, money and stress. It can also ensure your safety and the safety of anyone who enters your property.
