Final Air Clearance Air Testing
When following an asbestos
abatement project, it is imperative that owners know and document that the
facility or work area is acceptable for entry by individuals without
respiratory protection.
To do this, final clearance air testing is performed.
This action shows that, upon completion of an asbestos abatement activity, the
air within the work area is below the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration's (OSHA’s) Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL). Furthermore, some
institutions, such as schools, are held to a higher regulatory standard and
these buildings must pass more stringent final clearance criteria.
Environmental
Support Network, Inc. has completed thousands of final clearance air testing
activities on a variety of buildings in various working conditions. This
information safeguards owners from adverse environmental liability.
