Commercial Asbestos Removal Brisbane

Asbestos was widely used in commercial construction until the late 1980s. It can still be found in materials such as ceiling tiles, insulation, vinyl flooring and pipe lagging in office buildings, warehouses, factories, retail spaces and educational facilities. If your Brisbane property was built before 1990, there’s a high likelihood that asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) may be present.

An asbestos inspection is essential for identifying asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) before any renovation, demolition or maintenance work begins. Without a proper inspection, you risk unknowingly disturbing asbestos, which can release harmful fibres into the air and endanger workers, occupants and contractors. Conducting a professional inspection helps you stay compliant with legal obligations, avoid costly project delays and, most importantly, protect the health and safety of everyone on site.

In most cases, we work with you to schedule removal outside of business hours or in isolated areas to minimise disruption. However, for high-risk or friable asbestos, temporary relocation of staff may be necessary to maintain health and safety. Our team will assess the site and provide a detailed plan to ensure minimal downtime and maximum protection.

Asbestos disposal is strictly regulated. All removed asbestos-containing materials are sealed, labelled and transported by licensed professionals to an approved waste facility. At Palisco, we ensure full compliance with EPA as well as Work Health and Safety regulations for every disposal, providing you with documentation and peace of mind.

Yes. Under workplace health and safety laws, commercial property owners or managers must have an up-to-date asbestos register and management plan if asbestos is known, or suspected, to be present. This information is typically gathered through an asbestos audit, which involves a thorough inspection, sampling and documentation of any asbestos-containing materials on site. Palisco team members can conduct the full audit process to ensure your property meets all legal compliance requirements.
