Fibresafe NZ are professional and accredited consultants with an independent laboratory
Fibresafe NZ conducts the highest-standard asbestos air sampling, ensuring that the most accurate results are obtained. Air monitoring is performed to estimate the level of airborne fibres that are within the air. The air samples are collated using asbestos air sampling pumps accredited to ISO 13137:2013. There are two methods of asbestos air sampling that can be conducted by our team for you. These are static asbestos air sampling and personal sampling.Static sampling is when a pump is placed in an area to suck air in at the specific rate it is set to. Personal sampling is usually reserved for the asbestos removal workers to monitor their own exposure levels when undertaking the asbestos removal work. This helps them assess whether their control measure and their levels of Personal Protective Equipment, commonly known as PPE, are suited for the job.

Clearance Sampling
Clearance sampling is carried out after the removal of asbestos work. It determines whether the removal area is going to be fit for reoccupation. Those who require clearance air sampling are usually asbestos removal companies who have already removed all of the asbestos in the building or on the site. If you have removed asbestos in your own home, we recommend that you contact us for an asbestos clearance sampling service to ensure that your home is going to be safe for you to reoccupy.If you would like to see how Fibresafe NZ can help you with asbestos air sampling, contact us.
Control Monitoring
Control monitoring is generally conducted before, during or after asbestos removal work by the asbestos air sampling assessors. It’s a blanket term for air tests done to ensure control measures stated within the in-place Asbestos Removal Control Plan are effective.

Reasons for asbestos air sampling and monitoring
There are different reasons asbestos air monitoring are advised to be carried out. You may be removing asbestos, getting advice on asbestos air sampling or just looking for some peace of mind. Whatever the purpose, the pumps and methods are designed to simulate a person breathing over a time-weighted average. The report then shows how much asbestos is in the air, if there is any detected.At Fibresafe NZ, we offer interactive and effective training courses to prepare workers to safely remove asbestos, along with learning other relevant and important information needed. For A Class asbestos removal, the service of air monitoring is part of the third stage of the asbestos removal clearance procedure. The A Class asbestos removal is when friable or easily crumbled asbestos is being removed. It is compulsory in order for the removal area to be thought of as fit for reoccupation.
