Why air monitoring is essential in New Zealand
Airborne asbestos fibres pose significant health risks when asbestos-containing materials are disturbed or allowed to deteriorate. In New Zealand, effective air monitoring is a cornerstone of safe asbestos management and supports compliance with the Health and Safety at Work (Asbestos) Regulations 2016.
Our monitoring services support safe outcomes by:
- Evaluating exposure risks – we measure airborne fibre levels during asbestos-related activities to identify potential health hazards early and guide appropriate control responses.
- Validating control measures – air monitoring helps verify whether on-site controls, such as enclosures, negative pressure units and work methods, are performing effectively under New Zealand conditions.
- Confirming safe re‑occupancy – clearance air testing is required before an area can be deemed safe for re-entry. Our testing helps confirm fibre concentrations are below acceptable limits to meet NZ regulatory expectations.
- Strengthening risk management and compliance – reliable monitoring data supports decision-making, demonstrates due diligence and helps reduce exposure to compliance, legal, and financial risks associated with asbestos work.
