What is asbestos air testing?

Asbestos air testing measures the concentration of airborne asbestos fibres in a specific area. It is used to assess risk, verify control measures and demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements.

When is air monitoring required?

We focus on Asbestos air testing and monitoring may be required before, during or after asbestos-related works, during refurbishment or demolition projects, following accidental disturbance, or as part of an ongoing asbestos management plan.

What is reassurance testing?

Reassurance testing is carried out following asbestos-related works to confirm that airborne fibre concentrations are at acceptable levels and that an area can be safely reoccupied.

What is personal exposure monitoring?

Personal exposure monitoring measures the level of asbestos fibres an individual worker may be exposed to during specific activities. This helps assess risk and validate control measures.
