Asbestos Air Monitoring: Air Testing and Regulatory Compliance

Asbestos air monitoring measures the concentration of asbestos fibres in the air and helps assess exposure levels during asbestos work or in occupational environments. This service forms part of the monitoring undertaken by a specialist asbestos testing laboratory.

Why measure airborne asbestos fibre concentrations?

• Assess the concentration of asbestos fibres in the air
• Monitor worker safety and potential exposure
• Verify asbestos removal procedures and control measures
• Meet the applicable regulatory requirements

Air monitoring uses appropriate analytical methods to identify and count asbestos fibres in the air according to the measurement objective and regulatory context.

When should asbestos air monitoring be carried out?

• Before asbestos-related work
• During the work
• After the work, including clearance and reoccupation measurements where applicable

Depending on the investigation, this service may be combined with asbestos air testing or asbestos testing in materials to provide a more complete assessment of the asbestos risk.
