BOHS P402 - Asbestos Surveying and Sampling Strategies


Aim of the course

Large amounts of ACM’s have been used for a range of construction purposes in the past up until 1999 when the use of asbestos was banned. The extensive use of Asbestos in the past means that there are still ACM’s in buildings today. Some materials, if not disturbed present no risk, however, if the materials are disturbed or are likely to be disturbed in the future, the fibres will be breathed in and can cause serious illness such as lung diseases and cancers.
