Sample Testing

If an incident occurs in a school where confirmed or presumed asbestos containing material has been disturbed in a method not consistent with legislative requirements, any staff, students and visitors must immediately vacate the room or area and follow departmental procedures. Access to any area should be restricted until it can be assessed by a competent person who will then advise on recommended short and longer term remedial actions. The area should remain restricted until it has been cleared for reuse by the competent person.

Testing is conducted as a matter of course when there has been a disturbance of confirmed or presumed asbestos containing material. If the test confirms the presence of asbestos, a thorough professional clean is conducted to ensure the area is safe for reoccupation.

Each month a list will be available detailing schools that have been tested for asbestos dust as confirmed by Department of Public Works.
