Why is asbestos compliance so complicated? ⚠️
Labour regulates the people. Environment regulates the waste and landfills. Human Settlements deals with the homes. And transport has its own rules on top of that.
That’s why asbestos compliance in South Africa is so complicated, and why “just take the roof off” can land you in serious trouble.
We’re a Dept of Labour Approved Type 2 RAC, so we handle the whole process, from the first audit to clearance.

Mossel Bay, we need your voices. 💙
Earlier this year, council’s report found about 2,700 government-built homes with asbestos roofs: R152 million to replace, and no government funding to help.
🚛 What most people don’t know: there’s no accredited asbestos landfill in the Garden Route. Every load has to be trucked to Vissershok in Cape Town, and that trip is the biggest part of the cost.
🙋 So here’s the ask: a safe municipal asbestos collection point in Mossel Bay, with the municipality covering transport to Vissershok. Homeowners would only cover the removal itself. Other provinces have funded asbestos roof replacement before (Seshego, Limpopo: R33m for 1,500 roofs), so it can be done.
📣 Share this with your neighbours and tell your ward councillor.
In the meantime, don’t panic. A roof in good condition, left alone, isn’t a danger to your family. Just follow the rules:
❌ Don’t drill, cut, sand or power wash it (Asbestos Abatement Regulations, 2020, Reg 24)
❌ Don’t remove it yourself. Roof removal is Type 2 work and needs a registered asbestos contractor.

Own a building or run a workplace with asbestos in it? The law makes it your duty to manage it. ⚠️

Get it identified, keep an inventory, do a risk assessment and have a management plan. Ignore the rules and you could face a fine or up to 12 months in prison.

Safety claims are easy. Measured results are what count.

On a recent Type 2 asbestos removal project, independent air monitoring recorded a personal exposure of 0.007 f/ml during live removal. The occupational exposure limit is 0.1 f/ml, so that’s 14 times lower.

That result comes from the controls we use on every site: demarcation, full PPE and respiratory protection, wet suppression, and sealed waste handling, all under the Asbestos Abatement Regulations, 2020.

Burgi Construction is a Dept of Labour Approved Type 2 RAC and a B-BBEE Level 1 contributor.

Our standard for “finished” is a clearance certificate, not a clean-looking site.

After a recent asbestos removal, independent clearance air tests came back at 0.002 and 0.003 f/ml. The clearance limit is 0.01 f/ml, so the site passed.

Every Burgi project ends this way: waste wet-sprayed, bagged and sealed, then AIA clearance before handover. Site owners, facility managers and municipalities get documented proof that the area is safe to reoccupy.

Could your building contain asbestos? Let’s test your eye 👀
Roof sheets, gutters, floor tiles, fence posts and old pipes: asbestos was used in all kinds of building materials in South Africa until it was banned in 2008.
The catch? You can’t tell by looking. The only way to know for sure is a lab test. And if it’s broken or disturbed, it can release fibres that are harmful to your health.
If you own or manage an older property, an asbestos inventory tells you exactly what’s there, and SA law requires one before asbestos work can start.

30/09/2026

Your contractor never asked for an asbestos inventory? 🚩 That’s a problem.
Under South Africa’s Asbestos Abatement Regulations, 2020, the property owner or employer must provide an up-to-date asbestos inventory and risk assessment before any removal work starts. After removal, the inventory has to be updated, even if it was just one item.
Not sure if you’re compliant? Drop a question below 👇 or send us a DM.
