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 probable an asbestos containing material (ACM) is to discharging airborne fibres.
It is then down to the duty holder to calculate the specific risk that each asbestos containing material (ACM) poses based on the level of use in the area where it was discovered, and then to present an Asbestos Management Plan.
As part of the ongoing management of asbestos containing materials (ACMs), continual monitoring post asbestos survey is required at regular intervals. Any ACM found or suspected ACM will need to be inspected periodically to check that it has not worsened 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 premises is concerned.
All dubious materials should be sampled by a fully accredited asbestos surveyor, and then carefully discarded to be taken away for review using microscopy techniques at a UKAS accredited laboratory.
Under normal circumstances, asbestos test results are usually ready for oversight within 48 hours with a certificate of analysis outlining the types of asbestos present within the sample material tested.
