There are businesses around the capital of WA occupying premises that were built before 1990. It might be that they have been on the go for several decades or found a property that fits well with their plans in terms of location and affordability.
While it’s good to have a structure that shows obvious signs of longevity, it is also highly likely to contain a material that is hazardous and needs to be got rid of. That is why it is time to call in one of the expert teams in asbestos removals Perth has to offer.
Asbestos is dangerous. It is often found in roofing and around the lagging of pipes in those older buildings. Lots were constructed in a way to reduce costs before the dangers of it were known. Many houses were built to accommodate demand without any thought of how they were being put together.
However, the advancement of health research unveiled the serious disease of asbestosis was leading to increased fatalities. The Australian government of 1993 took the first steps by banning the mining of the material. This was followed by the stopping of all imports and exports and the total ban from the end of 2003.
With a third of all properties built pre-1990 containing asbestos, something had to be done. Fortunately, professional companies have been established, some now with a couple of decades of experience in the field. To be able to carry out such work, they are required to obtain a government license to prove that that is proficient and safe. Finding and using one that undergoes projects on behalf of the local authorities is a safe bet.
It is the responsibility of the property owner to ensure that their building is safe and that nobody in its environment is at risk.
