What is the difference between an asbestos survey and an AMP?
An asbestos survey is the initial inspection and sampling used to find asbestos. The Asbestos Management Program (AMP) is the ongoing plan used to manage those materials safely over time.
Who can perform an asbestos inspection?
Inspections must be conducted by a "competent person" with the necessary technical knowledge and training to identify hazardous materials and evaluate their risk level.
