Type 3 Demolition Asbestos Audits

Type 3 Demolition Asbestos Audits: also known as Full access sampling and identification asbestos audits (pre demolition/major refurbishment asbestos audits)

Type 3 Demolition Asbestos Audits provide the location of the asbestos within the building that is required to be removed before demolition. Demolition asbestos audits are intended to partially comply with the hazardous materials auditing procedure (clause 1.6) of AS 2601 Demolition of Structures. The demolition asbestos audit includes inspections of wall cavities and other areas not accessible when the building was otherwise occupied.

An asbestos register is then developed which includes the location of the asbestos and a risk assessment as in a Type 2 sampling asbestos audit. These demolition asbestos audit reports are generally required by Sydney councils as part of a development application.

A type 3 demolition asbestos audit generally cannot be conducted until the building is not occupied when damage to the surface finishes will occur. People requiring asbestos audits must ensure that they are fully aware of the limitation of each type of asbestos audit.
