Asbestos Testing/Sampling - Trident Surveying
by Liz Seyi Digital marketing managerAsbestos Testing/Sampling
The only 100% way
to prove whether or not a material contains or does not contain asbestos is to
use a UKAS accredited asbestos
testing service. Without expert testing and without
confirmation that the material is clear of contamination the law states that
you must assume that it does contain asbestos.
Trident Surveying utilise the professionalism
and expertise of an independent state of the art UKAS accredited laboratory for
the testing of materials found during the surveying process.
How Asbestos Testing Works
Trident work hard
to ensure the testing process is speedy and efficient. A representative sample
of the material, suspected to be asbestos containing, is collected during the
survey and submitted immediately to the laboratory for testing. In the
analytical laboratory, this suspect material is analysed by a detailed
examination by stereo microscope. One or more representative sub samples are
prepared mechanically and or chemically for further examination. Fibres
observed in the course of the examination are categorised tentatively on the
basis of morphology and certain physical properties.
Each fibre type
recognised is sampled by selecting a few fibres or bundles and these are
mounted in a refractive index liquid to match the most likely asbestos type.
The fibres are then positively identified as one of the six regulated types on
the basis of their detailed optical properties using polarised light
microscopy.
Asbestos Testing Results
Once the
laboratory results are back we confirm or otherwise the make-up of the material
and depending on the outcome we will speak to you about the options you have
and will recommend the best option for you. Remember, unlike many of our
competitors, we are not tied to an asbestos removal company, neither do we
remove asbestos ourselves, and therefore our advice really is impartial. This
is all done within the guidance of HSG264.
Asbestos Sampling
If you suspect
any asbestos containing materials in your premises, we can provide a quick and
efficient sampling programme which includes sampling and analysis of the
material. All our samples are analysed by a UKAS Accredited Laboratory.
