The health risks relating to breathing in asbestos fibres are well documented. It is estimated that 3500 deaths per year in the UK are caused by asbestos related diseases.

Those at particularly high risk of exposure to asbestos are:

• Builders
• Plumbers
• Joiners
• Electricians
• Demolition Workers
• IT Installers

Health & Safety regulations now state that employers and those in charge of buildings (‘Duty Holders’) must identify and control the risk from asbestos in their premises.


Asbestos Surveys
There is a duty under Health and Safety Law on all employers, and those in charge of buildings, to have their buildings inspected for asbestos-containing materials.

If you are buying a commercial or domestic property you will need to know if there is asbestos in the building.

Air Monitoring
We offer a wide range of asbestos air monitoring services:

• Reassurance Air Test
• Background Air Test
• Air Clearance & Certificate of Reoccupation
• Personal Asbestos Monitoring

We hold UKAS accreditation for asbestos air monitoring, air sampling and fibre counting, and we are regular participants in the RICE inter-laboratory counting exchange.

Bulk Sampling Analysis
We are able to take and analyse samples of suspected asbestos-containing materials from client sites.

Asbestos analysis is carried out at our laboratory in Colwyn Bay. The analytical method is based on the HSE recommended method contained in HSG 248.

Asbestos Awareness Training
There is a legal requirement for employers to provide asbestos awareness training for employees who may disturb asbestos during the course of their work. - Regulation 10 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006 (CAR)

This requirement also extends to supervisors.
