Promoting the safe removal, treatment and disposal of asbestos in Queensland

Publications

Key Queensland asbestos publications can found on the Department of Justice and Attorney General website. Standards and regulations are also available from GoPrint (phone 07 3246 3399 or fax 07 3246 3534).

Publications produced by the Australian Safety and Compensation Council (formerly the National Occupational Health and Safety Commission) are also useful. The three most relevant to asbestos are:

• Code of Practice for the Safe Removal of Asbestos 2nd Edition (NOHSC: 2002 [2005])
  
• Code of Practice for the Management and Control of Asbestos in Workplaces (NOHSC: 2018 [2005])
  
• Guidance Note on the Membrane Filter Method for Estimating Airborne Asbestos Fibres 2nd Edition (NOHSC: 3003 [2005]).
