Asbestos surveys

Identifying risk before it becomes a hazard 

Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) remain common in many New Zealand buildings constructed before 2000. Proactively identifying and managing these materials is critical to protect health, comply with local legislation and avoid costly delays during projects. 

Under the Health and Safety at Work (Asbestos) Regulations 2016, all persons conducting a business or undertaking (PCBUs) must identify asbestos in the workplace and maintain an asbestos management plan for any building built before 1 January 2000.

Comprehensive asbestos surveys form the backbone of this process, helping locate ACMs, assess their condition and implement appropriate controls tailored to New Zealand requirements.  


Asbestos surveys

Types of asbestos surveys

Management survey

A non-intrusive survey designed to identify ACMs that could be disturbed during normal occupancy or routine maintenance. This survey supports the creation of an asbestos register and management plan, helping ensure compliance with New Zealand standards.

Refurbishment survey

Required before any refurbishment work begins. This intrusive survey targets areas where ACMs may be hidden behind walls, floors or ceilings. It helps ensure asbestos is identified and safely managed before construction activities commence.

Demolition survey

A fully intrusive survey conducted prior to demolition. It is intended to identify all ACMs within the structure, enable safe removal and prevent environmental contamination in line with New Zealand regulations.
