Four-stage clearance testing

in line with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006, Regulation 17, removal of asbestos material normally requiring notification to the Health & Safety Executive requires a four-stage clearance procedure.

Stage one is a preliminary check of site condition and job completeness; stage two a thorough visual inspection; stage three clearance air monitoring and stage four final assessment post enclosure/work area dismantling. 

All our operational staff undertake regular quality control, both internally, and as part of the RICE scheme.  RICE (Regular Interlaboratory Counting Exchange) is an independent scheme, established in 1984 and administered by the Institute of Occupational Medicine (IOM), the aim of which is to minimise inter-laboratory differences in asbestos fibre counting levels and to provide a formal assessment of laboratory performance.
