Purpose of an Asbestos Survey
An asbestos survey is carried out to identify any potential asbestos containing materials (ACM) within a building or area of a building. It consists of an on-site assessment by a professional IP402 qualified asbestos surveyor and a report is issued following the assessment to outline the full findings. An asbestos survey will identify the location, condition and amount of any asbestos containing materials in an area.
During the on-site assessment, the asbestos surveyor will identify possible asbestos containing materials, take photos for identification, and take small samples of products as required. Following the assessment, samples are sent to an IANZ accredited laboratory for analysis while the report is being compiled by the surveyor. The laboratory will identify the presence and type of any asbestos found within the materials tested.
