Following asbestos removal, a clearance inspection may be required before the affected area can be safely reoccupied or returned to normal use. As experienced asbestos removers in Melbourne, Bison can coordinate the required clearance process following asbestos removal, decontamination and clean-up works across residential, commercial and industrial sites.
Clearance inspections provide confirmation that the asbestos removal area has been appropriately cleaned and that the requirements for clearance have been met before the area is handed back.
An asbestos clearance certificate is documentation issued following a successful clearance inspection of an area where asbestos removal work has been completed.
The inspection is undertaken after the removal and clean-up process to check the asbestos removal area and surrounding areas for visible asbestos residue or contamination and determine whether the area is suitable for reoccupation.
Depending on the type and scope of asbestos removal work, the clearance process may also involve air monitoring and other requirements before a clearance certificate can be issued.
Clearance inspections and certificates may be required:
The exact clearance requirements depend on the type of asbestos, the removal work undertaken and the circumstances of the project.





An important part of the clearance process is ensuring the inspection is appropriately independent from the asbestos removal work.
Bison can coordinate the required clearance inspection with a suitably qualified independent professional following completion of our asbestos removal works.
For Class A asbestos removal work, clearance inspections must be undertaken by an independent licensed asbestos assessor. Different requirements can apply to other asbestos removal work depending on the project.
The clearance process may include a detailed visual inspection of the removal area and surrounding spaces to confirm there is no visible asbestos residue.
Where required, air monitoring may also form part of the clearance process. Once the relevant clearance requirements have been satisfied, the appropriate documentation can be issued and the area released for reoccupation or subsequent works.
Bison can manage the asbestos removal process and coordinate the required independent clearance inspection as part of the overall project.
This gives homeowners, builders, businesses and project managers a clear process from asbestos removal and decontamination through to waste disposal, clearance and site handover.
If further work is required before clearance can be achieved, our removal team can address the identified issues before the area is reinspected.
Whether Bison is completing the asbestos removal or you require assistance arranging clearance following previous works, our team can help coordinate the next steps.
