Frequently
asked
questions
-
Air monitoring is commonly undertaken during asbestos removal work where there is a risk of airborne asbestos fibres being released. Requirements vary depending on the type of asbestos being removed, the removal method and the project scope. PAC can advise whether air monitoring is appropriate for your project.
-
PAC provides independent asbestos air monitoring services separate from the asbestos removal contractor. This independent approach provides unbiased monitoring, reporting and compliance documentation throughout the removal process.
-
Air monitoring involves collecting air samples using specialised equipment positioned within or around the work area. Samples are analysed by an approved laboratory to measure airborne asbestos fibre concentrations and determine whether exposure levels remain within acceptable limits.
-
If elevated fibre levels are identified, the results are communicated promptly so appropriate action can be taken. This may include reviewing work practices, improving containment measures or temporarily stopping work until the issue has been addressed.
-
Air monitoring requirements vary depending on the type of asbestos removal and the project risks. While monitoring is commonly associated with Class A removal work, it may also be recommended or required for certain Class B projects. PAC can advise on the appropriate monitoring requirements for your site.
-
Monitoring samples are sent to an approved laboratory for analysis, with turnaround times depending on project requirements and laboratory processing. Where required, PAC works to provide timely reporting to minimise project delays.
-
Air monitoring forms an important part of the asbestos removal process but does not replace a formal clearance inspection where one is required. PAC can provide both independent air monitoring and clearance inspections to support safe project completion.
-
Yes. PAC provides independent asbestos air monitoring services throughout New Zealand and the Pacific Islands, supporting residential, commercial, industrial and government projects of all sizes.
