If you’ve already had an asbestos survey conducted, you should have critical information on hand such as a Material Hazard Assessment, which provides a clear demonstration of how liable an asbestos containing material (ACM) is to discharging 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 proceeding management of asbestos containing materials (ACMs), continual surveillance post asbestos survey is necessary at regular intervals. Any ACM found or suspected ACM will need to be inspected frequently to ensure 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 kind of property is concerned.
All dubious materials should be analysed by a fully accredited asbestos surveyor, and then carefully discarded to be taken away for analysis using microscopy techniques at a UKAS accredited laboratory.
Under normal circumstances, asbestos test results are generally ready for oversight within 48 hours with a certificate of analysis detailing the types of asbestos present within the sample material tested.
