Asbestos sampling is a crucial step in assessing the risk of asbestos exposure as it helps decide on appropriate management or reduction measures.
When we undertake asbestos sampling, we collect small, representative samples of materials and analyse them, determining whether asbestos fibres are present. This information allows us to make important decisions regarding your building or home.
If asbestos is present, we identify its type and concentration. Our team then samples asbestos air and dust using up-to-date equipment and approved procedures.
Our asbestos sampling services extend across several areas in Queensland, including Mackay, Townsville, Bowen, Ayr, Ingham, Charters Towers, Mount Isa, Cairns, Rockhampton, Whitsunday (region), Proserpine (Whitsunday region), Airlie Beach (Whitsunday region), Port Douglas, Cooktown, and many local suburbs.

How We Conduct Asbestos Sampling
We take the following steps during the process of asbestos sampling to ensure your safety and determine if there is asbestos and to what extent:
We thoroughly inspect the building or area, looking for asbestos-containing materials. Common asbestos-containing materials include insulation, ceiling tiles, flooring, roofing, and textured coatings.
The licensed asbestos assessor assesses the condition of the materials suspected to contain asbestos. Damaged, deteriorated, or crumbled materials are more likely to release asbestos fibres into the air, posing a higher risk.
Our team collects small samples of the suspected materials. We use appropriate tools and techniques. The goal is to obtain a sample that reflects the presence or absence of asbestos. To prevent contamination, we collect the samples in sealable containers.
We carefully label each sample and prepare detailed documentation, including the sample’s location and material type.
What Happens to the Samples?
A NATA-accredited laboratory analyses the samples to determine the presence of asbestos fibres. If present, it identifies the type and concentration of asbestos. The results of the analysis provide information about the potential health risks.
If we find asbestos, we may need to take appropriate measures to manage the risk. These measures include encapsulation, removal, or other forms of risk reduction.
