22 7 RISK ASSESMENT 71 General The inspection of the building(s) and subsequent sample analysis of materials suspected of containing asbestos located at the Rapid Creek Business Village identified the following types of asbestos containing materials: Asbestos cement products; Electrical backing boards (ie zelemite ); The products do not pose a risk from exposure to airborne fibres so long as the materials are not disturbed or worked upon, ie, cut, sawn, drilled, etc (Appendix D provides a summary of the health risks of asbestos materials that have been identified in this register) 72 Removal The inspection of the building revealed a number of items that although is unlikely that these asbestos materials will pose a health risk from exposure to airborne asbestos fibres we consider they should be removed and replaced as soon as is practicable All damaged ceiling tiles have been removed These items are as follows: Ceiling tiles Floor tiles 73 LABELLING In accordance with the Work safe Australia Code of Practice asbestos warning signs have to be affixed to or adjacent to identified asbestos materials ICC Australia PTY LTY sells Asbestos Warning Labels, which conform to AS , Safety signs for Occupational Environment However we recommend that additional and more prominent warning signs be affixed to the asbestos materials 8 LEGISLATIVE REQUIREMENTS The current Northern Territory Regulations require that the owner of a building or plant, which contains any asbestos, ensures that: Page 22

23 Asbestos which is unstable or poses a significant health risk is removed as soon as reasonably practicable; and Policies and procedures are established to control the asbestos and to prevent (or where not reasonably practical to minimize) the exposure of any person to airborne asbestos fibres The policies must address the following: An assessment of the degree of stability of the asbestos; The steps that can be taken to restrict access to the place where the asbestos is situated; The steps that can be taken to prevent disturbance of the asbestos; The use of labels and signs to warn of asbestos; Regular inspections of the asbestos; and Work practices in the vicinity of the asbestos Any asbestos removal work done is required by legislation to be in accordance with the Work Health & Safety Act 2011 It is necessary to ensure that all asbestos products are removed prior to any demolition, removal, maintenance, operational or construction work, which may damage or disturb asbestos product(s) Page 23
