asbestos means the asbestiform varieties of mineral silicates belonging to the serpentine or amphibole groups of rock‑forming minerals, including—

(a)actinolite asbestos*; and

(b)grunerite (or amosite) (brown) asbestos*; and

(c)anthophyllite asbestos*; and

(f)tremolite asbestos*;

Note—

Mineral silicates that use the same mineral term for both the asbestiform and non‑asbestiform varieties are highlighted with an asterisk(*). The word "asbestos" has been included when listing these minerals to emphasise that only the asbestiform habit of these minerals is regulated as asbestos.

Note—

As required by section 10AA(2) of the Subordinate Legislation Act 1978, the Minister has certified that, in the Minister's opinion, it is necessary or appropriate that these regulations come into operation as set out in these regulations.
