Emergency Asbestos Make-Safe

 An emergency make-safe is required when asbestos has been:

• Accidentally damaged
   
• Broken, cut or drilled
   
• Exposed during renovation or demolition
   
• Disturbed by storms, fire or impact
   
• Discovered unexpectedly on a job site
   

The purpose is to immediately contain the risk, prevent fibre release, and protect people until permanent removal can be arranged.

You need an emergency asbestos make-safe if:

• A tradie drills into asbestos
   
• Wall or ceiling sheeting breaks
   
• Roofing or eaves are damaged
   
• Renovations uncover unknown ACM
   
• Asbestos is illegally dumped
   
• Storms or accidents expose asbestos
   

Leaving exposed asbestos unattended can lead to:

• Health risks
   
• EPA or SafeWork action
   
• Insurance claim delays
   
• Expensive contamination clean-ups

✔ Site attendance and risk assessment
✔ Isolation of affected areas
✔ Installation of temporary containment
✔ Sealing and securing of exposed ACM
