What Does FACM Stand For?
FACM stands for Friable Asbestos Containing Material
FACM, or Friable Asbestos Containing Material, refers to materials that contain asbestos and can be easily crumbled or pulverized by hand pressure. This characteristic poses a significant health risk, as it allows asbestos fibers to become airborne and potentially inhaled, leading to serious respiratory diseases. Proper identification and management of FACM are crucial in mitigation efforts and compliance with health and safety regulations in environments where such materials may be present.
