IOM independently investigates potential or historic asbestos exposure, helping you understand what may have happened, put the risk into context and decide what action to take.
Service overview
An accidental disturbance of asbestos or concern about past exposure can leave employers with difficult questions.
Who may have been exposed? How much could they have been exposed to? What does this mean for their health? And what action should you take now?
IOM provides independent asbestos consultancy and risk assessment to help you understand potential exposure, put the risk into context and make informed decisions.
We bring information together to build an evidence-led picture of the likely exposure and its potential significance.
Following an incident, simply knowing that asbestos was present may not be enough to understand the risk.
A robust assessment may need to consider:
When an asbestos incident has already happened, it may still be possible to estimate the likely exposure and resulting health risk.
Our specialists reconstruct the circumstances using information about the materials involved, activities undertaken, duration of potential exposure, controls in place and available scientific evidence.
Where appropriate, we can use recognised exposure-response models to estimate the potential future health risk.
This helps you move beyond uncertainty and answer the questions that matter: what was the likely exposure, what level of risk does it represent and what should happen next?
Concerns about asbestos exposure can cause understandable anxiety for employees and create difficult decisions for organisations.
IOM provides an independent, evidence-led assessment that turns complex exposure and health information into clear conclusions and practical next steps.
This helps you respond proportionately, communicate clearly with those affected and demonstrate that the potential exposure has been properly investigated.
