If you’ve already had an asbestos survey carried out, you should have critical information on hand 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 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 produce an Asbestos Management Plan.
As part of the ongoing management of asbestos containing materials (ACMs), continual monitoring post asbestos survey is necessary at regular intervals. Any ACM found or probable ACM will need to be inspected frequently to check that it has not deteriorated or sustained damaged. As a minimum, ACMs should be inspected every six to twelve months.
Asbestos analysis must form part of every asbestos inspection survey, no matter what kind of building is concerned.
All suspect materials should be tested by a fully qualified 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 usually ready for review within 48 hours with a certificate of analysis detailing the types of asbestos present within the sample material tested.
