RISK ASSESSMENT PHILOSOPHIES OF ACM





ONORM M 9406 (AUT)“Handling of products containing weakly bound asbestos”

Asbest-Richtlinie (GER)“Guideline for Assessment and Management of loose bound ACM in buildings”

EKAS Guideline No. 6503 (CH)“Sprayed on asbestos and other loose bound ACM”

RISK ASSESSMENT TOOLS in Austria, Germany and Switzerland





I Category of ACMII Type of AsbestosIII Surface condition of ACM concerning the structureIV Surface condition of ACM concerning damagesV External derogation of ACMVI Occupancy of the room containing ACMVII Position of ACM within the room

RELEVANT PARAMETERS FOR RISK ASSESSMENT OF ACM





1 Sprayed on asbestos2 Asbestos containing plaster3 Asbestos containing panels4 Other ACM (mastic, knifing filler, foam, board, tissues,

rope or loose insulating material)

Group ICategory of ACM





1 Amphibole (Crocydolite, Amosit, etc.)2 Chrysotile

Group IIType of asbestos





1 Loose fibre structure2 Close fiber structure without or with insufficient tight

surface coating3 Coated and tight surface

Group IIISurface condition of ACM - Structure





1 Heavy damages2 Slight damages3 No damages

Group IVSurface condition of ACM - Damage





1 ACM can be damaged directly within handle height2 ACM is exposed to occasional works3 ACM is exposed to mechanical influence4 ACM is exposed to vibrations5 ACM is exposed to strong alternating stress due to temp.6 ACM is exposed to strong ventilations7 ACM is exposed to strong airflow within the room8 ACM can be released due to improper operation9 No external derogation from ACM

Group VExternal derogation of ACM





1 Regularly occupied room by children, teens and athlets

2 Permanent occupied or often used room by other persons

3 Temporary occupied room4 Rarely occupied room

Group VIRoom with ACM - Occupancy





1 ACM directly within the room2 ACM within the ventilation for the room (lining or

covering of leaky ducts)3 ACM behind a leaky suspended ceiling od paneling4 ACM behind a tight suspended ceiling or paneling,

outside of tight ducts

Group VIIRoom with ACM – Position of ACM





> 70 Interval for next assessment: 5 years70 to 79 Interval for next assessment: 2 years≥ 80 Immediate measures

- stop operation of room/area or- prove, that airborne asbestos fibre

concentration is lower than 1000 f/m³, monitored by SEM-method and

- prepare a management plan for ACM within 1 year at least

RESULTS





Any risk assessment standard for ACM should fulfill

TransparancyComparabilityPossibility of verifying the resultsObjectivity

REQUIREMENTS FOR ACM - RISK ASSESSMENT





1. Investigate any ACM by using the given Assessment Checklist

2. Prove results by individual verification3. If necessary: Undertake a monitoring

program (bulk, dust and air samples)4. Elaborate a risk assessment statement5. By experienced professionals only
