Do I need to report asbestos in my home?

If you have asbestos on your property and it is not damaged, you don’t need to do anything. Leave asbestos-containing materials alone if they are in good condition.

If there is damage or you’re renovating, a licensed asbestos professional can identify the asbestos and manage its removal.

Do I need to report asbestos in my commercial property?

You must have an Asbestos Register if your commercial property was built before 2004.

Anyone working on your property must request the register. As the commercial property owner or "person conducting business undertakings" (PCBU), you must provide the register to anyone working on your property.

The Register should be readily accessible -  especially to people who undertake or who may undertake work on your property.
