If you’ve already had an asbestos survey conducted, you should have crucial information on hand such as a Material Hazard Assessment, which outlines a clear indication of how probable an asbestos containing material (ACM) is to releasing airborne fibres.
It is then down to the duty holder to determine the specific danger that each asbestos containing material (ACM) poses based on the level of use in the area where it was found, and then to produce an Asbestos Management Plan.
As part of the proceeding management of asbestos containing materials (ACMs), continual surveillance post asbestos survey is required at regular intervals. Any ACM identified or probable ACM will need to be inspected periodically to ensure that it has not worsened or sustained damaged. As a minimum, ACMs should be checked every six to twelve months.
Asbestos analysis must form part of every asbestos inspection survey, no matter what kind of property is concerned.
All suspect materials should be tested by a fully licensed asbestos surveyor, and then carefully removed to be taken away for review 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 outlining the types of asbestos found within the sample material tested.
