SUMMARY OF EXCEEDENCES, ALARMS AND RESPONSES FOR AIR MONITORING

LOCATIONS

20th – 26th June 2014

Lords Recreation Centre

Below is a summary of air quality results for the reporting period. Full details can be found

overleaf.

All PM10 dust monitoring has recorded levels below the recommended levels set in the National Environment Protection (Ambient Air Quality) Measure 2003 for dust particles less

than 10 microns in size. No exceedances of the assigned PM2.5 “Work Stoppage Level” were recorded in the period.

All Respirable Fibre Monitoring was below the occupational criteria of 0.1 f/mL as denoted in

the Adopted National Exposure Standards for Atmospheric Contaminants in the Occupational

Environment [NOHSC:1003(1995)]. These results were also below site action criteria of

0.01f/mL as denoted in the Code of Practice for the Removal of Asbestos 2nd Edition

[NOHSC:2002(2005)].

These results have been verified by the independent environmental consultant.

UNDERSTANDING CONTROL LEVELS FROM RESPIRABLE FIBRE MONITORING

RESULTS

When undertaking respirable fibre monitoring for the purpose of asbestos investigations there

are many different levels of detection that are used for various purposes. The following seeks

the clarify what is meant by ‘control levels’ as found in the Code of Practice for the Safe

Removal of Asbestos [NOHSC:2002 (2005)] which are levels used when monitoring for

airborne asbestos fibres.

The Code of Practice for the Safe Removal of Asbestos [NOHSC:2002 (2005)] states that air

monitoring of potential airborne asbestos fibres be undertaken whenever Asbestos Containing

Materials (ACM) are being removed to make sure that control measures are effective. Fibre

monitoring is a requirement when working on friable ACM and good occupational hygiene

practice in areas of bonded ACM.

The Code of Practice also outlines the control levels for the airborne asbestos fibres that are

detected by fibre monitoring. These control levels are measured in fibres/mL and are used to

assist in determining the effectiveness of control measures put in place to reduce asbestos

exposure in an area during work on ACM. They are occupational hygiene best practice

guidelines and are set to be more sensitive than the National Exposure Standard which are

health based standards created by the National Occupational Health and Safety Commission

(NOHSC).

If the control levels are exceeded, it indicates that current control measures need to be

reviewed and/or further action taken to manage the removal of asbestos. The table below

shows the control levels in fibres/mL and the corresponding action to be taken if those levels

are reached as found in the Code of Practice for the Safe Removal of Asbestos [NOHSC:2002

(2005)] Section 9.8 Air Monitoring.

Table 2: Control levels for monitored airborne asbestos fibres as in the Code of Practice for the Safe

Removal of Asbestos [NOHSC: 2002 (2005)] as found in Section 9.8 Air Monitoring.

Control Level

(airborne asbestos fibres/mL) Control/Action

< 0.01 Continue with control measures

≥ 0.01 Review control measures

≥ 0.02 Stop removal work and find the cause

Enclosed are the laboratory certificates for the fibre monitoring undertaken from 20th June –

26th June 2014. Figure 3 (overleaf) shows the locations of all monitors.
