Asbestos Exposure

 

Asbestos exposure monitoring requirements in the asbestos regulations require the employer to monitor employee exposures initially and routinely so that appropriate hazard control measures are implemented and maintained to protect the employees.

 

Asbestos exposure monitoring requirements are intended to have the employer regularly collect sample sets which accurately measure employee exposures with statistical significance and a deliberate sampling strategy to demonstrate all employee exposures in all hazardous work activities.

Employee Asbestos exposure is measured by collecting representative air samples whose aggregate sampling time is as close as possible to the employee\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s full work shift, not to exceed 8 hours.

Asbestos Exposure monitoring samples must be analysed by Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM) in accordance with the Safety Health and Welfare at Work (Exposure to Asbestos) Regulations, 2006
