Samples: How To Take Them

If you suspect that your building may contain asbestos, it's important to take samples for testing. Here's how to do it safely and effectively:

1. Wear protective clothing: Before taking samples, make sure to wear protective clothing, including disposable gloves, overalls, and a face mask.

2. Wet the material: Asbestos-containing materials are most dangerous when they are dry, so it's important to wet the material before taking samples.

3. Use a sharp tool: Use a sharp tool such as a knife or screwdriver to remove a small sample of the material.

4. Place the sample in a sealable bag: Place the sample in a sealable bag, making sure to label the bag with information about where the sample was taken from.

5. Dispose of the protective clothing: Once you have taken the samples, carefully dispose of the protective clothing and any materials used to take the samples.

May Contain Asbestos: What To Do

If you suspect that a material in your building may contain asbestos, it's important to take action. Here's what to do:

1. Don't disturb the material: If you suspect that a material may contain asbestos, it's important not to disturb it. Disturbing asbestos can release dangerous fibres into the air, which can be inhaled and cause health problems.

2. Get it tested: The only way to know for sure whether a material contains asbestos is to have it tested by a UKAS-accredited laboratory.

3. Follow recommendations: If asbestos is present, you will need to follow recommendations for how to manage or remove the asbestos. This may include sealing off the area, monitoring the asbestos on a regular basis, or removing the asbestos altogether.
