Asbestos Surveys

We have had a small number of Owners asking us not to do an Asbestos Survey

I have to let you all know it is law that we have a Survey carried out on your Property with some prosecutions already going through the Tenancy Tribunal

Below is the advise one of our Owners received direct from Worksafe

Thank you for your enquiry.

The WorkSafe NZ published Approved Code of Practice (ACoP)  for management and removal of asbestos refers to the year 2000 as the date when buildings should be suspected as containing asbestos containing material. The information in the ACoP was developed in consultation with industry prior to publication.  https://worksafe.govt.nz/topic-and-industry/asbestos/management-and-removal-of-asbestos/

Legislation covering asbestos includes:

  1. The imports and exports of asbestos containing products was prohibited in 2016

http://legislation.govt.nz/regulation/public/2016/0218/latest/DLM6962509.html?src=qs

  1. The prohibition on carrying out, directing, or allowing work involving asbestos or asbestos containing material was prohibited in 2016  (regulation 7)

http://www.legislation.govt.nz/regulation/public/2016/0015/latest/DLM6729706.html

WorkSafe would not expect an asbestos survey to be carried out on a building constructed post 2018 unless there was reason to suspect that asbestos was present.

Fortunately Tauranga Rentals Ltd has an experienced Building Practitioner in Dan Lusby and can do these Surveys for a fraction of the cost an Asbestos Removal Company would charge

We just want to let you know we are doing these Surveys to comply with the Governments Compliance Legislation on all properties built before 2016.

If you need more information contact Dan dan@taurangarentals.co.nz or phone the office 07 571 1025
