Hazardous materials management

Managing hazardous materials takes precision, experience and complete compliance.

We are licensed specialists in identifying, removing and managing hazardous building materials safely and responsibly. RARE supports clients through the full project lifecycle, from initial site assessments to removal, clearance, and waste tracking.

Our team’s experience across compliance, demolition and remediation means hazardous materials are handled safely, efficiently and in line with every regulatory requirement.

We have delivered large-scale asbestos management programs, emergency response works and hazardous materials removal for utilities, government clients and civil contractors.

Safe systems, trusted processes

Every hazardous materials project carries a duty of care to workers, the community and the environment. RARE operates under an integrated management system covering safety, health, environment and quality, ensuring that all work meets the highest standards.

Our licensed specialists use industry-approved procedures, monitoring and disposal methods to keep sites compliant and safe. RARE maintains transparent documentation and clear communication throughout the process, giving clients confidence in every stage of the job.

We have built our own five-stage mobile decontamination unit, with ‘dirty’ and clean’ showers, hot running water, and waste water containment. The decontamination unit has been deployed on may regional friable asbestos projects, including the 2020 bushfire recovery project. RARE owns several High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filtered vacuum cleaners, used for a range of hazardous building material applications.

Experience that makes a difference

Our backgrounds in demolition, remediation and compliance give us the insight to plan effectively around live works and coordinate with other contractors. We deliver outcomes that are safe, compliant and efficient, no matter the project scale or complexity.

RARE has delivered hazardous materials projects, including confined-space asbestos removal, lead remediation and spill response. Every site is left clean and compliant, and ready for the next stage of development.
