If you’ve already had an asbestos survey conducted, you should have critical information available such as a Material Hazard Assessment, which provides a clear indication of how liable an asbestos containing material (ACM) is to releasing airborne fibres.
It is then up to the duty holder to determine the specific risk that each asbestos containing material (ACM) poses based on the level of occupation in the area where it was found, and then to produce an Asbestos Management Plan
As part of the on going management of asbestos containing materials (ACMs), continual monitoring post asbestos survey is required at regular intervals. Any ACM identified or suspected ACM will need to be inspected periodically to check that it has not deteriorated or sustained damaged. As a minimum, ACMs should be checked every six to twelve months.
Asbestos testing must form part of every asbestos inspection survey, no matter what type of property is concerned.
All suspect materials should be sampled by a fully-qualified asbestos surveyor, and then carefully removed to be taken away for analysis using microscopy techniques at a UKAS accredited laboratory.
Under normal circumstances, asbestos test results are usually ready for review within 48 hours with a certificate of analysis detailing the type(s) of asbestos present within the sample material tested.
