Asbestos Services

Asbestos was once used in Australia in more then 3,000 different products including fibro, flue pipes, drains, roofs, gutters, brakes, clutches and gaskets. Asbestos becomes a health risk when its fibres are released into the air and inhaled. Workers must not handle asbestos unless they have been trained and hold a licence that is current and appropriate for the type of work being done. 

Nviro undertakes all works with strict adherence to the relevant guidelines and codes of practice provided by national bodies such as SafeWork NSW, the NSW Environmental Protection Authority (NSW EPA), and relevant Australian Standards.
