What Does FIM Stand For?
FIM stands for Friable Insulation Material
FIM, or Friable Insulation Material, refers to insulation substances that are easily crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure. Often containing asbestos or other hazardous materials, FIM poses health risks when disturbed, as it can release airborne fibers. Proper handling, management, and removal protocols are essential to ensure safety in environments where FIM is present.
