Air Monitoring

About Air Monitoring

Air monitoring is critical to assessing the presence and concentration of airborne substances, including asbestos fibres.

Due to the serious health risks associated with asbestos, including lung diseases and cancer, it is crucial when handling asbestos-containing materials (ACMs).

When you need it:

• During construction or renovation work, workers may remove or disturb any Class A (friable) asbestos product.
• Conducting asbestos removal in Governmental and public buildings
• Works that are in close proximity to or pose an elevated risk to the public.
• A Licensed Asbestos Assessor or Occupational Hygienist dictates it or sets it out in “Methodology" or A.R.C.P.
• There is uncertainty about whether airborne fibres are present and whether the concentration of asbestos fibres exceeds the safe exposure standard.

Only qualified professionals, such as licensed asbestos assessors (LAA), can monitor air.

Our company is one of a limited number in Queensland licensed and qualified to remove the most dangerous form of asbestos, friable asbestos, or class A. So, you know you’re in expert and knowledgeable hands when you hire us.

The Purpose of Air Monitoring

Air monitoring measures the levels of asbestos fibres in the air to determine if they exceed permissible safe exposure limits. By monitoring the air, we can ensure that workers and the public are not at risk of inhaling harmful asbestos particles. When working with asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), we apply specific air monitoring practices, including the following:

Asbestos Removal

Continuous air monitoring is essential to protect workers and the public and verify that airborne asbestos levels remain within safe limits during asbestos removal or reduction. It also helps determine the appropriate level of PPE required for workers based on exposure levels.

Emergency Situations

Accidental disturbance (e.g., damaged ACMs) ensures timely response and risk mitigation. This is crucial for safeguarding workers’ health and preventing asbestos-related illnesses.
