Asbestos was once a common material in construction and industry due to its durability and fire resistance. However, the risk of exposure to asbestos fibers and dust causes asbestos-related diseases like lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma. Managing asbestos safety is crucial for any facility with older buildings or infrastructure.
At Irwin's Safety, our certified asbestos assessors and project managers provide complete asbestos solutions to identify risks, ensure compliance, and protect your workers.

How do you control asbestos hazards?
Controls include removing asbestos, encapsulating it, using enclosures, minimizing disturbance, regular inspections, air monitoring, PPE, training workers, and following asbestos procedures.
What is the asbestos control exposure level?
The workplace exposure standard is 0.1 asbestos fibers/mL of air. Our assessments ensure you remain below this level.
How can you manage the risk?
By identifying all asbestos materials, assessing their condition, maintaining asbestos registers, implementing asbestos management plans, training workers, informing Health and Safety representatives, arranging proper removal by licensed contractors, and conducting regular air monitoring.
What are the primary ways to prevent asbestos exposure?
Eliminating asbestos materials where possible via licensed removal. Enclosing or sealing asbestos that remains. Using proper PPE and safe work methods. Increased ventilation. Avoiding disturbance of asbestos. Regular inspections and air monitoring.
How often should asbestos management plans be reviewed?
Plans should be reviewed at least every 5 years or when there are changes to buildings, materials, work processes or personnel. Reviews ensure plans remain current.
The dangers of asbestos exposure are well known, yet many older buildings still contain concerning materials.
