Additional asbestos sample tests from an IANZ accredited laboratory. This is an add-on product to our Full and Basic Asbestos test kits purchased through our retail partners, which include testing for one sample. Add quantity at checkout. Note: This product is intended for the DIYer who is planning a job for the future or has uncovered building material they are unsure about. For workplaces or PCBU’s (person contracted to undertake paid work in a residential dwelling), asbestos samples are required by the Health and Safety at Work Regulations (Asbestos) 2016 to be taken by a competent person. The Worksafe Good Practice Guidelines for conducting Asbestos Surveys indicates that “People identifying asbestos should have the knowledge and skills to identify or assume the presence of asbestos through training, qualifications and experience.” PCBUs should only use these kits where an unexpected suspicious material has been identified and a qualified asbestos assessor is not available at short notice.
