Did you know that under Queensland laws, water blasting roofs that contain asbestos can lead to hefty fines? It's crucial to understand the risks associated with asbestos-containing materials before undertaking any cleaning or renovation activities.
⚠️ Prohibited Practice: According to WHS laws, the use of high-pressure water spraying equipment on asbestos-containing materials, including asbestos cement roofs, fences, and walls, is strictly prohibited. This is because it can release dangerous airborne fibres, posing significant health risks.
