Asbestos is a hazardous material that, when disturbed, can release fibers into the air, posing severe health risks. To safeguard your home, business, or renovation project, Certified asbestos sample testing is essential. This testing helps identify the presence of asbestos and ensures the proper handling of this dangerous substance. At AHI Asbestos, we provide reliable and professional asbestos testing services in Brisbane, ensuring the safety of your property and compliance with local regulations.
Asbestos sample testing is the process of analysing materials suspected of containing asbestos fibres. This is typically done to identify and quantify the presence of asbestos in various building materials, such as insulation, roofing, flooring, and pipes. Testing helps determine if the asbestos is in a friable (easily crumbled) or non-friable (solid and stable) state, significantly impacting the potential health risk.
For accurate and reliable results, it is essential to ensure that the asbestos inspection is performed by NATA-accredited asbestos testing providers. These accredited laboratories follow rigorous standards to ensure the accuracy and safety of the testing process. Asbestos sample collection must be done carefully to avoid contamination or exposure, which is why it is recommended to hire professionals who specialise in professional asbestos testing. These experts can conduct the sampling safely and interpret the results accurately to assess any potential health hazards associated with asbestos exposure.
Asbestos is a known carcinogen, and exposure to its fibres can cause serious health conditions, such as lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma. Asbestos testing is essential for identifying its presence in materials before disturbances like renovations, demolitions, or routine maintenance. Laboratory analysis helps prevent accidental exposure and ensures compliance with health and safety regulations. In many Australian jurisdictions, laws require an asbestos risk assessment and the creation of an Asbestos Register before certain activities in buildings constructed before the 1980s.
Professional asbestos testing services ensure that proper procedures are followed, minimising risk to individuals and maintaining safety during construction or renovation. Early detection of asbestos contamination is crucial for preventing long-term health risks and ensuring compliance with relevant regulations.

Although it is not recommended, DIY sample collection can be carried out by the homeowner, business person or contractor. The necessary precautions must be carried out to ensure that fibre release is controlled and the health risks during this process are minimised.
Only a competent person or a person with asbestos experience should take the asbestos samples because of the increased health risk of fibres being released during the process. If the sampling process is conducted incorrectly, it can be more hazardous than leaving the material alone. Any sample taken should be sealed within a container, or a 200 µm polythene bag, and appropriately labelled.
All asbestos samples must be analysed by a NATA-accredited laboratory or one that is approved or operated by the relevant regulator.
