Asbestos

ASBESTOS ASSESSMENTS, ASBESTOS INVENTORY AND MONITORING

Ingozi Management offers services using industry approved AIA partners. We can assist with Asbestos Inventories and Assessments to ensure asbestos contractors safely handle, remove and dispose of asbestos and help to ensure asbestos contractors safely handle, remove and dispose of asbestos according to legislation.

Ingozi ensures compliance with the new Asbestos Abatement Regulations November 2020 which regulates the removal of asbestos from all buildings in South Africa.

In November 2020 the Asbestos Abatement Regulations was passed giving building owners until May 2022 to assess all asbestos on their buildings and to draft an asbestos inventory.

Asbestos containing materials are typically found on or in:

  • Asbestos roofs
  • Asbestos gutters
  • Asbestos roof tiles
  • Asbestos roof sheets
  • Asbestos ceilings

Asbestos heating appliances, such as wall heaters.

It is best to employ a competent person, preferably a health and safety officer with the skills and experience to identify asbestos and asbestos containing material. This person will be able to do an asbestos assessment and asbestos inventory to ensure your building is asbestos compliant.

Health and safety consultants will refer an asbestos contractor who is a Type 1, 2 or 3 Registered Asbestos Contractor and who is also an asbestos specialist in the removal and disposal of asbestos to handle all asbestos on your building.
