Asbestos analysis

Employees in the construction industry are at great risk of being exposed to asbestos dust. Asbestos is a dangerous substance that can cause serious diseases. If a material contains asbestos, it is usually necessary to take an asbestos test to get a definite answer.

What it is

Asbestos analysis is done by us at Falck for all types of workplaces and businesses. We have over 50 years of analysis experience in asbestos and have permission from the Swedish Work Environment Authority to handle and perform asbestos analysis/asbestos samples. Depending on the material to be tested, samples are taken in different ways:

• Tiles, plastic carpet, wet room wallpaper and the like: about 5 x 5 cm. Make sure that the fix and joint, glue or similar are included.
• Pipe insulation and other powdery stuff: 1 to 2 tablespoons.
• Window putty, sealing in ventilation ducts, etc.: about 5 to 10 cm.

How it works

1. Take samples
   Take samples as above and place each sample in a separate and sealable plastic bag. You put the plastic bags in a padded envelope.
2. Fill out order form
   Fill out the asbestos analysis order form and pack the samples.
3. Send sample
   The asbestos samples, together with the signed order form, are sent to our laboratory in Linköping. Mark the letter with "Samples" and send to:
