To prioritise the removal of asbestos, the Victorian Asbestos Eradication Agency (VAEA) created a database of the location and condition of identified asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in government-owned buildings in Victoria.
We’ve also:
- consolidated the workplace asbestos registers(opens in a new window) from Victorian government-owned buildings
- created an evidenced-based risk model(opens in a new window) to assess asbestos hazards
- developed best practice materials and guidance about asbestos identification, verification and removal.
Our innovative and data-driven approach ensures that the long-term plan for the prioritised removal of asbestos from Victorian government-owned buildings is informed, systematic and safe.
AIRSystem
AIRSystem is the foundation of our work – a consolidated database of identified ACMs in government-owned buildings in Victoria.
AIRSystem:
- records the condition and location of identified ACMs
- risk-rates identified ACMs, based on ACM condition, friability, disturbance potential, and building use.
AIRSystem provides government a centralised and comprehensive database to inform the plan for prioritised asbestos removal on a large scale.
