Asbestos air monitoring is a critical component of environmental risk management for residential properties, commercial properties, industrial facilities and construction sites.
Whether you're managing a refurbishment, demolition, or remediation project, our air monitoring services help ensure safety, compliance and peace of mind.
Air monitoring should be included wherever there is a risk of airborne fibres, particularly during removal works or activities that may disturb asbestos-containing materials. Including air monitoring early in a project helps ensure controls are effective and reduces the risk of exposure during the project.
Air monitoring provides data on fibre levels, allowing site teams to confirm whether controls are working. This enables issues to be identified early and addressed before they escalate into safety or compliance problems.
Air monitoring measures the concentration of airborne asbestos fibres in a specific area. This data is used to assess exposure risk and confirm whether control measures are effective.
Different types of monitoring can be used depending on the project, including control monitoring during removal works and clearance monitoring to confirm an area is safe after works are complete.
Responsibility generally sits with the party managing the works, but it is often coordinated through an independent consultant to ensure monitoring is carried out correctly and results are valid.
If elevated fibre levels are detected, work may need to be paused while control measures are reviewed and improved. Further cleaning or containment may be required before monitoring is repeated.
