Ensuring Safety and Compliance in Asbestos Management

Why is Asbestos a Cause for Concern?

A serious health concern, being exposed to Asbestos fibres can result in the following:

  • Asbestosis

    Inhaling asbestos fibres can scar the lung tissue, which causes this chronic lung disease.

  • Mesothelioma

    An aggressive form of cancer caused by asbestos exposure, this usually affects the lungs, abdomen, and heart.

  • Lung Cancer

    People are at a higher risk of developing lung cancer when exposed to asbestos.

  • Pleural Plaques

    Prolonged asbestos exposure can lead to the development of thick patches on the lung tissue and diaphragm.

Our Asbestos Monitoring Services

Air monitoring is crucial in detecting the presence of airborne asbestos fibres. At SERS, we offer the following asbestos air monitoring services in Brisbane, Perth, and Sydney in Australia:

  • Background Air Monitoring

    Before construction, repair, remodelling, or any other activity takes place, background air monitoring establishes the initial asbestos levels. This determines if the activity can be done safely, and precautions to take. On completion, it helps compare pre-and-post-work asbestos levels.

  • Exposure Air Monitoring

    To ensure that workers are safe, this activity ensures sampling, analysis, and estimation of the weighted average asbestos exposure. In essence, this measures the concentration of airborne asbestos during activities.

  • Control Air Monitoring

    This asbestos air testing activity ensures that the control measures set in place during the disturbance activity (maintenance, construction, or others) are effective. In turn, it ensures that asbestos levels in the work location stay in a safe range.

  • Clearance Air Monitoring

    On completion of the said activity, this asbestos air sampling ensures that the premises are free of asbestos and safe for use.
