It is important that any asbestos discovered at the workplace be identified by way of appropriate asbestos signage.

It is required under section 8 of the asbestos Code of Practice that any areas of a workplace which contain ACM, including plant, equipment and components, should be signposted with warning signs to ensure that the asbestos is not unknowingly disturbed without the correct precautions being taken.

This can be accomplished by engaging ABSCAN to supply and install the appropriate signs and labels. Our labels are shown below. Please contact us on 1800 105 244 to ensure your compliance with this legislative requirement.

  1. Metal Signs (40x30cm): These metal signs are used on the exterior of a building primarily at the entrance of the property to advise that asbestos is present and a register is located at reception.

  2. PVC Signs (A4): Where metal signs are not necessary, the PVC sign can be placed to the front entrance window of the property/business. Contact details can also be nominated if required.

  3. Large Labels (18x13cm): These self-adhesive labels are normally used to identify asbestos on detached buildings or outbuildings at the property. Contact details can also be nominated if required.

  4. Small Labels (12x5cm): These self-adhesive labels are the most important and are affixed to the actual areas where ACM has been discovered.
