The Asbestos in Materials Scheme (AIMS) is the UK national proficiency testing
programme for bulk asbestos analysis. Individual analysts should also demonstrate
competency through training records and satisfactory performance in an internal
quality assurance scheme.
When asbestos is disturbed or damaged, it releases tiny fibres into the air. These fibres can easily be inhaled without the person even noticing. They can become trapped in the nose or throat, or they can work their way into the lung or digestive tract. Once the fibres enter the body, this is when they start to cause health problems.
