Buildings constructed before 2000 may have asbestos or asbestos-containing material (ACM).
The diagram shows areas where asbestos or ACM were commonly used.
The risk to health is low if the asbestos or ACM is in good condition and undisturbed. It is unlikely
that airborne asbestos fibres will be released. It is usually safer to leave the asbestos or ACM where
it is and review its condition over time.
If the asbestos or ACM deteriorates or is disturbed (eg during renovations or repairs) it is more likely
that asbestos fibres will be released. Breathing in airborne asbestos fibres is a serious risk to health.

Did you know that Asbestos is New Zealand's number one killer in the home and workplace. Due to its strength, durability and resistance to fire and water, asbestos was widely used in building products and materials and is present in many of New Zealand's buildings, homes and workplaces.

Worksafe NZ introduced new regulations which aim to minimise the health impacts of asbestos in workplaces. Businesses and property owners are required to identify and implement appropriate asbestos management controls in accordance with the new regulations.
