Asbestos Identification & Management
Asbestos-containing materials can remain in older homes, commercial buildings, industrial sites and infrastructure. The material cannot be reliably confirmed simply by looking at it, so suspected asbestos should be assessed and, where appropriate, sampled by a competent professional rather than disturbed.
2HEM helps businesses, property managers, contractors and other clients identify and manage asbestos risks. Our work can include asbestos and hazardous materials surveys, register audits, sampling strategies, air monitoring, visual clearances and management planning.
If planned renovation, demolition, maintenance or removal work may disturb a suspect material, arrange an assessment before work begins.
Identify suspected asbestos-containing materials and document risks before maintenance, refurbishment, demolition or other work.
Representative samples can be collected and submitted for analysis to establish whether suspect materials contain asbestos.
Airborne asbestos fibre monitoring for relevant friable and non-friable asbestos removal and risk-management situations.
Visual clearance support after removal plus asbestos register audits and management plans for ongoing workplace risk management.
Our Asbestos Services
The right service depends on the property, the material, the planned work and the level of risk. 2HEM can tailor the assessment and sampling approach to the situation.
Site assessments to identify suspected asbestos and other hazardous materials, helping clients understand what may be present and where further investigation is required.
Sampling of suspect materials using an appropriate strategy, with samples sent for laboratory analysis to confirm whether asbestos is present.
Air monitoring can be used during relevant asbestos work to assess airborne fibre levels and provide objective information about conditions around the work area.
Audit and management support to help workplaces maintain useful asbestos information, document known or presumed ACM and plan appropriate controls.
Post-removal visual inspection support to assess whether the relevant work area is visibly free of asbestos waste and debris before normal use resumes.
Assessment and sampling strategies for asbestos or other hazardous materials in soil, redevelopment areas and other environments where contamination may be a concern.
Our Process
Every site is different. We start by understanding the property and why testing is needed, then develop an appropriate inspection and sampling approach.
We discuss the building or site, suspected material, proposed works, timeframes and the reason the asbestos assessment is required.
A site inspection is used to locate suspected asbestos-containing materials and determine an appropriate sampling or monitoring strategy.
Where sampling is appropriate, representative material is collected and submitted for third-party NATA-accredited laboratory analysis.
You receive clear information on the findings, together with practical steps for managing identified asbestos risks and planning the next stages.
When Should You Test?
Testing is particularly useful when you need to establish whether a suspect building material contains asbestos or when asbestos information is needed to plan work safely.
Do not cut, drill, sand, break or otherwise disturb a suspect material just to obtain your own sample.
Workplace Asbestos Management
Workplaces with asbestos risks may have duties relating to identification, asbestos registers, management plans, control of disturbance and safe removal. Requirements vary with the circumstances, so the assessment should reflect the site, the material and the work being undertaken.
2HEM provides occupational hygiene and hazardous materials support designed to give clients practical, defensible information for decision-making. Where laboratory analysis is required, results are provided through third-party NATA-accredited laboratories.
Projects involving concrete, masonry or other silica-containing products may also require silica dust exposure assessment and monitoring.
