We follow NSW regulations to protect your property, your family, and the wider community.

Friable and Non-Friable Asbestos Removal. Understanding the Risks

Across Wollongong suburbs, from older fibro homes to coastal commercial precincts and long-standing industrial areas, asbestos-containing materials are still common. Any building constructed or renovated before 2004 may contain asbestos with the potential to become dangerous if disturbed.

Both friable (crumbly, high-risk) and non-friable (bonded) asbestos can release microscopic fibres when damaged. These fibres are linked to life-threatening conditions, including mesothelioma, asbestosis and lung cancer.

In NSW, asbestos is tightly regulated to protect residents. Key safety requirements include:

  • Only licensed asbestos professionals may remove friable or significant amounts of non-friable asbestos.
  • SafeWork NSW requires strict handling, the wearing of PPE, and sealed waste packaging.
  • All asbestos waste must be transported in approved, labelled, leak-proof containers to licensed disposal facilities only.
  • Illegal dumping is a major issue across the Illawarra, with fines, remediation costs, and environmental risks for beaches, bushland and waterways.
  • Disturbed or dumped fragments can travel long distances via strong coastal winds and stormwater runoff.
  • Responsible disposal requires detailed planning, risk assessments, and notification to the relevant authorities before work begins.

Ignoring these rules places workers, nearby residents, and the wider community at serious risk.
