If you’ve already had an asbestos survey conducted, you should have key information available such as a Material Hazard Assessment, which provides a clear indication of how liable an asbestos containing material (ACM) is to discharging airborne fibres.
It is then up to the duty holder to evaluate the present risk that each asbestos containing material (ACM) poses based on the level of activity 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), constant observation post asbestos survey is required at regular intervals. Any ACM verified or suspected ACM will need to be reviewed periodically to check that it has not deteriorated or sustained damage. As a minimum, ACMs should be checked every six to twelve months.
Asbestos testing should form a part of every asbestos inspection survey, no matter what age of building is concerned.
All potential hazardous materials should be checked by a fully-qualified 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 normally ready for review within 48 hours with a certificate of analysis detailing the type(s) of asbestos present within the sample material tested.
