This book provides advice and guidance for analysts involved in licensed asbestos removal and the sampling of asbestos-containing materials. This guidance is aimed at a technical audience, e.g. asbestos analysts, asbestos consultants, occupational hygienists, safety officers etc. It will also be useful to asbestos removal contractors and supervisors, employers, building owners and people with responsibility for managing properties and estates. Appendix 1 contains details of the future approved analytical method for evaluation of fibres in air. Amendments to the European Worker Protection Directive to be implemented by 2006 will replace the existing European Reference Method MDHS39/4 Asbesto fibres in air, with the WHO method. The updated method has been included to allow analysts to become familiar and train with the new method. MDHS39/4 should still be used until the new EU directive is implemented. Includes appendices, references and further information, and a glossary of acronyms.
