"This document is a revised version of Asbestos: The analysts' guide for sampling analysis and clearance procedures, first published in 2005.
It contains guidance for analysts involved in asbestos work and is the authoritative source of asbestos analytical procedures within Great Britain.
The guidance has been updated to take account of legal changes, findings
from HSE's interventions, and developments in analytical procedures and methodology. It provides clarification on technical and personal safety issues, especially in relation to sampling and 4-stage clearances. Information to assess the presence of asbestos in soils and made ground is included for the first time. The guidance is also designed to assist analysts in complying with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. The document should also be particularly useful to several other groups, including asbestos consultants, occupational hygienists, safety professionals, asbestos removal contractors, building owners and people with responsibility for managing asbestos in properties and estates."
