Asbestos Surveys | Air Monitoring | Clearance Inspections If you manage or control a workplace, you have duties under the Health and Safety at Work (Asbestos) Regulations 2016 to identify asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), maintain an up-to-date Asbestos Management Plan (AMP), provide asbestos information to anyone who may disturb it, and review that information regularly.
NZ Asbestos Services Ltd provides efficient, professional support from licensed asbestos assessors to help you meet these obligations with confidence.
Management Surveys Management surveys are undertaken in occupied buildings during normal use and routine maintenance. They are designed to identify the presence, location, and condition of accessible asbestos-containing materials and typically involve minor intrusive inspection and sampling where required. The results are used to inform your asbestos register and support your ongoing management plan.
Refurbishment & Demolition Surveys Refurbishment and demolition surveys are required before major building works, structural alterations, or demolition. These surveys are more intrusive and are designed to identify all ACMs likely to be disturbed during the proposed works, including within hidden cavities, linings, and voids. For safety reasons, these inspections are generally carried out in unoccupied areas. Asbestos Management Plans (AMPs)Following completion of an asbestos survey and register, we prepare practical, site-specific Asbestos Management Plans tailored to your property and operational needs. These plans typically include:
A summary of identified or presumed ACMs and their locations
Risk assessments and recommended control measures
Procedures for safe work, maintenance, and emergency response
Responsibilities for ongoing communication, training, and review
Our AMPs are designed to help you meet WorkSafe NZ obligations while supporting the safe day-to-day management of your site. Air MonitoringOur licensed assessors carry out airborne fibre monitoring in a range of situations to assess asbestos fibre levels and verify the effectiveness of controls. Background & Leak Monitoring Monitoring undertaken before or during removal works to confirm fibres are not escaping the work area or containment. Reassurance Monitoring Monitoring carried out in occupied or adjacent areas to provide confidence that airborne asbestos fibre levels remain controlled. Clearance Monitoring Monitoring completed following asbestos removal to confirm fibre levels are below the applicable re-occupation criteria. Four-Stage Clearance InspectionsFollowing licensed asbestos removal, we complete the full four-stage clearance inspection process to confirm the area is suitable for reoccupation. This includes:
Preliminary review of the work area, scope, and removal documentation
Thorough visual inspection of the enclosure or work area
Air monitoring and laboratory analysis, where required
Final assessment and issue of a Clearance Certificate
Our clearance inspections provide independent confirmation that asbestos removal work has been completed to the required standard and that the area is ready for safe reoccupation.
