Frequently asked questions
-
Our laboratory analysts must meet stringent quality assurance requirements. To maintain their expertise, our team undergoes regular proficiency testing and continuous professional development. A good number of our team members are designated as Key Technical Persons for bulk analysis and fibre counting.
This comprehensive training ensures our commercial clients receive the highest standard of analytical service from our asbestos testing laboratory, which is particularly crucial for complex projects requiring detailed analysis and interpretation.
-
While collecting samples yourself is possible, we strongly advise against it. Professional sample collection, performed by our licensed asbestos assessors, is essential for accurate results from the asbestos testing lab technicians. Incorrect sampling can compromise worker safety and test accuracy.
Our assessors perform professional sample and airborne asbestos testing analysis, ensuring compliance with the Health and Safety at Work (Asbestos) Regulations 2016 and providing a proper chain of documentation for liability protection. Our qualified consultants understand the complexities of commercial building materials and can develop sampling strategies and an asbestos management plan in NZ.
