Asbestos is a fine-fibred silicate material and is an air-borne hazard to human beings. Monitoring the air quality around your asbestos problem is an essential part of meeting the health challenge, which asbestos presents. Asbestos, until it was properly understood, was an invisible killer in our midst, with microscopic particles being breathed in by unsuspecting human beings. Now, of course, we know about the dangers it poses and have, finally, taken steps to prevent further suffering and deaths from this air-borne killer. Asbestos air monitoring involves sampling the environmental air quality on-site and in surrounding areas, as to the presence of airborne fibres. We provide air monitoring as part of our comprehensive asbestos removal service in Adelaide.
Asbestos air monitoring is an integral aspect of assessing and managing the risks associated with asbestos. There are four distinct processes involved in controlled airborne fibre monitoring of asbestos.
Air monitoring is recommended in accordance with the Guidance Note on the Membrane Filter Method for Estimating Airborne Fibres {NOHSC:3003(2005)}.
Whenever friable asbestos material is being removed an asbestos removal control plan should be in place. Asbestos air monitoring is an important part of any plan to remove or manage asbestos containing material from a site or building. Monitoring the air is a vital component to the safe management and control of asbestos. We have the training, experience and certification to handle air monitoring in Perth.
