If you’ve already had an asbestos survey conducted, you should have critical information available such as a Material Hazard Assessment, which outlines a clear demonstration of how liable an asbestos containing material (ACM) is to releasing 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 occupation in the area where it was discovered, and then to present an Asbestos Management Plan.
As part of the proceeding management of asbestos containing materials (ACMs), constant monitoring post asbestos survey is necessary at regular intervals. Any ACM found or probable ACM will need to be inspected frequently to ensure 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 kind of property is concerned.
All suspect materials should be tested by a fully licensed asbestos surveyor, and then carefully extracted to be taken away for review using microscopy techniques at a UKAS accredited laboratory.
Under normal circumstances, asbestos test results are generally ready for review within 48 hours with a certificate of analysis outlining the types of asbestos present within the sample material tested.
