Comprehensive Asbestos Sampling & Identification Services

Ensuring a Safe Environment with Asbestos Identification

At Safety Imperium Consultancy Services Corporation, we understand the critical importance of identifying and managing asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) to protect human health and ensure regulatory compliance. 

Understanding the Asbestos Threat:

Asbestos, a naturally occurring mineral once widely used in construction, now presents a significant health threat. Extensive research has definitively linked asbestos exposure to lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. These risks arise from microscopic asbestos fibers becoming airborne and inhaled. 


Asbestos fibers are microscopic and invisible to the human eye. When these fibers become airborne through deterioration or disturbance of Asbestos-Containing Materials (ACMs), inhalation becomes a risk. Over time, these fibers lodge in the lungs, causing inflammation, scarring, and ultimately, severe health complications.

Why is Asbestos Sampling and Identification Crucial?

  •  Protecting Human Health: Identifying ACMs is the first step in preventing exposure and safeguarding the health of your employees, occupants, and the wider community.
  • Regulatory Compliance: The Philippines has regulations and guidelines concerning the handling and disposal of asbestos-containing materials. Identifying these materials is essential for compliance with environmental and occupational safety laws. While a comprehensive national ban on asbestos is in progress, existing ACMs in older buildings still require careful management. We stay updated on the latest regulations and guidance from the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) and the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB).
  • Informed Decision-Making: Knowing whether or not asbestos is present allows you to make informed decisions about its management, whether it involves safe encapsulation, repair, or removal by licensed professionals.
  • Peace of Mind: Obtaining professional asbestos sampling and identification provides you with the certainty needed to ensure a safe and healthy environment.

Our Expert Asbestos Sampling and Identification Services

Detailed Reporting

 You will receive a comprehensive report that includes: 


  • A clear description of the sampled materials and their locations.
  • The analytical results from the accredited laboratory, clearly stating whether asbestos was detected and the type(s) of asbestos identified.
  • Photographic documentation of the sampling locations and materials.
  • Interpretation of the findings in relation to potential risks.
  • Recommendations for the next steps based on the results, which may include Asbestos Risk Assessment (ARA).

Accredited Laboratory Analysis

 Samples are submitted to reputable and ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratories for definitive analysis. The primary method used is Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM), the globally recognized standard for identifying asbestos fibers in bulk samples. We ensure the laboratory participates in proficiency testing programs to guarantee the accuracy and reliability of the results. 

Adherence to Best Practices

 We follow internationally recognized guidelines and methodologies, including those from organizations like the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in addition to staying current with Philippine regulations. 

Commitment to Safety

 The safety of our personnel and your occupants is our top priority throughout the sampling process. 

Safe Sample Collection

 We employ safe and industry-best practices for collecting representative samples of suspect materials. Our technicians are equipped with the necessary personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow strict procedures to minimize fiber release during sampling. 

Thorough Site Assessment

 Our experienced and trained personnel conduct a visual assessment of your premises to identify potential ACMs based on their typical locations and historical use. 

Complete Your Asbestos Management Strategy

Discover the Power of Asbestos Risk Assessment (ARA)

Identifying the presence of asbestos is a crucial first step. But understanding the risk it poses requires a comprehensive Asbestos Risk Assessment (ARA). 


 Are you wondering: 

 

  • What is the condition of the identified ACMs?
  • What is the likelihood of fiber release under current conditions?
  • Who is potentially at risk of exposure?
  • What control measures are necessary to manage the risk effectively?

 

Our detailed Asbestos Risk Assessment (ARA) services provide the answers to these critical questions. By evaluating the type, condition, location, and potential disturbance of ACMs, we can help you develop a robust Asbestos Management Plan tailored to your specific needs.


Don't stop at identification – take the proactive step towards comprehensive asbestos management. Explore our Asbestos Risk Assessment services to gain a complete understanding of the risks and implement effective control measures.

While a comprehensive national ban on asbestos is in progress, existing ACMs in older buildings still require careful management. We stay updated on the latest regulations and guidance from the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) and the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB). 

We also consider internationally recognized guidelines and methodologies, including those from organizations like the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). 

Our technicians use personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow strict procedures to minimize fiber release. 

We use Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM), the globally recognized standard. 

The report includes a description of materials, lab results, photos, and recommendations. 

The sampling and analysis of materials suspected of containing asbestos must only be undertaken by a competent person or company. 


Asbestos awareness training must be provided for anyone who during the course of their work, could potentially or unknowingly disturb asbestos containing materials (ACMs) causing asbestos fibres to be released into the air and those involved in building management, refurbishment or design for example, plumbers. 

The EPA does not recommend testing asbestos yourself because it could expose you to its toxic airborne particles. 

It evaluates the type, condition, location, and potential disturbance of ACMs to develop an Asbestos Management Plan.
