BAM and 4-Stage Asbestos Clearance Audit Checklist
by John Conroy, from the Community
This asbestos compliance audit checklist supports Background Air Monitoring (BAM) and the full four-stage clearance process in line with HSG248 and HSG247. It guides pre-start health and safety checks, analyst competence and training (P403, P404, RSPH), PPE and RPE selection and fit, and RAMS verification. It covers air monitoring setup, pump flow and calibration, temperature/pressure logging, lab procedures, microscope setup, WHO counting rules, fibre calculations, and TWA. The four stages include enclosure integrity, thorough visual inspection, active disturbance with correct sample numbers, and final reassurance testing. It also addresses decontamination and DCU clearance, waste control, documentation, QC review, and reporting requirements.
