Factors included in the assessment:
- Type and amount of asbestos in ACM;
- Friability and condition of ACM;
- Accessibility to building occupants; and
- The likelihood of disturbance by regular activities in the building.
An asbestos survey is needed to verify whether the materials present in the building contain asbestos and to outline the location and condition of asbestos-containing materials (ACM).
An asbestos survey is based on a walk-through inspection and sampling of suspect building materials for asbestos. An assessment of relative risk of exposure to airborne asbestos takes place during the survey.
