People who work in the construction industry are at great risk of being exposed to asbestos dust. It is important to know that 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.
Falck has over 50 years of analysis experience in asbestos and has permission from the Swedish Work Environment Authority to handle and perform asbestos analysis/asbestos samples. We offer asbestos analysis for all types of workplaces and businesses.
How the asbestos test works
Depending on the material to be tested, the sample is taken as follows:
- Tiles, plastic mats, wet room wallpaper and the like: about 5 x 5 cm. Make sure that fixings and joints, 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.
