Think Before You Break
Updating a bathroom or carrying out a full-blown renovation—these activities have become a beloved Aussie pastime, previously left to qualified tradesmen. So, if you’re about to embark on your next dream renovation, it’s crucial to think before you break.
Before getting started, consider having an asbestos testing residential inspection carried out by a qualified technician. Residential asbestos is particularly hazardous, and many older post-war homes and buildings in Geelong, Melbourne, and throughout regional Victoria are laden with this potentially lethal substance.
We recommend calling in the experts. Look for a company that provides comprehensive asbestos testing services so you don’t need multiple trades for different expertise. Companies like Vertex Analytics not only test and inspect for asbestos but also supervise the asbestos removal & remediation process if required. Finally, our qualified assessors can issue an asbestos visual clearance certificate, allowing you to continue with your project with complete peace of mind.

Asbestos Testing, Audits, Remediation Services, and More!
Alongside our parent group SCAADA, we focus on more than just asbestos testing services; we offer a full remediation solution. This includes conducting asbestos testing and audits that comply with national standards and regulatory guidelines. We provide thorough, confidential reports detailing the findings, along with an asbestos risk management plan. We offer a complete project management service, including recommendations for asbestos removal where necessary. Our expert team supervises asbestos remediation during the removal works. Finally, our asbestos technicians are qualified to issue asbestos clearance certificates, confirming that all visible asbestos has been safely removed.
Do I Need an Asbestos Visual Clearance Certificate?
An asbestos visual clearance certificate is issued by a qualified assessor after verifying that all visible asbestos has been removed from the site. Employees, contractors, or other individuals may not enter the removal site until this certificate has been issued.
Depending on Workplace Health & Safety Regulation in the specific state or territory, an asbestos clearance certificate is generally required when the amount of asbestos removed is greater than 10 square meters.
Will I Need Asbestos Air Monitoring?
We recommend asbestos air monitoring when:
- Asbestos-containing material is in poor condition
- During demolition or renovation works where asbestos may be present
- When asbestos is being removed
As one of the leading asbestos air monitoring companies, our expert asbestos consultants will test for the presence of airborne asbestos fibres, ensuring the site is safe for all.
Do You Offer Asbestos Removal?
While we don’t physically remove asbestos ourselves, we can recommend a team that is expertly skilled in asbestos removal. Vertex Analytics has the asbestos consulting and testing services to oversee the entire process, ensuring removal practices are safe and comply with current Australian health and safety standards. Following remediation, our trained assessors can provide a visual clearance certificate, verifying that all visible asbestos has been safely removed from the site.
Who Needs to Be Notified If Asbestos Is Found in the Workplace?
An asbestos register must be established when any asbestos-containing material is identified in the workplace setting. If no asbestos has been identified, this must also be recorded. Our asbestos registers comply with the National Occupational Health and Safety Commission Code of Practice for the Management and Control of Asbestos in Workplaces.
