ASBESTOS REGISTER REVIEWS
Section 426 of the WHS Regulations requires that a person with management or control of a workplace must ensure an Asbestos Register is reviewed and where necessary revised by a Competent Person if: the Asbestos Management Plan is reviewed, further asbestos or ACM is identified at the workplace, or asbestos is removed from or disturbed, sealed or enclosed at the workplace.
When reviewing the Asbestos Register, a Competent Person should carry out a visual inspection of the asbestos and ACM listed to determine its condition and revise the Asbestos Register as appropriate.
Previous Asbestos Registers and records relating to asbestos removal jobs, for instance clearance certificates, can assist in identifying all asbestos and ACM in the workplace. As most landlords and tenants are not deemed to be asbestos competent people, they are not likely to recognise any changes in condition of confirmed or presumed asbestos on site which would trigger the need for an immediate Review of the Asbestos Register.
We therefore strongly recommend that your Asbestos Register is reviewed on an annual basis.
