ASBESTOS INSPECTION:

Asbestos, a naturally occurring fibrous silicate mineral, poses a significant environmental hazard. In 2008,  asbestos was banned in South Africa in terms of the Regulations for the Prohibition of the Use, Manufacturing, Import and Export of Asbestos and Asbestos Containing Materials.

In terms of the Asbestos Abatement Regulations of 2001, the use of asbestos in new building materials was prohibited. Additionally, the regulations mandate the removal or containment of asbestos in pre-existing structures. The regulation was updated in 2020 (Read the Regs. here)

At Property Inspect 4u, our professional asbestos inspection services are crafted to support property owners, managers, and stakeholders in compliance with stringent asbestos abatement regulations. The abatement regulation underscores the need for competent identification of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) at the workplace, with specific references to classification and analysis.
