Asbestos Survey Services
Understanding the significance of asbestos management in buildings is crucial for maintaining a safe environment. Asbestos, once a popular construction material, is now known for its health risks when disturbed. Our services begin with a free consultation to understand your specific needs. Based on this initial discussion, we can recommend the appropriate type of asbestos survey. This is a crucial first step towards updating your existing asbestos register, a fundamental component of your Asbestos Management Plan and ongoing compliance efforts.
Asbestos Risk Assessment and Management
Upon completing an asbestos survey, our team conducts a thorough risk assessment. This involves identifying any immediate remedial actions and advising on the long-term management of identified asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). Our goal is to ensure that your property is safe for occupancy and that you are fully informed about the location, condition, and potential risks associated with any ACMs present. This proactive approach aids in minimizing health risks and ensuring compliance with relevant regulations.
Types of Asbestos Surveys Explained
-
Management Survey: This standard survey aims to locate, as far as reasonably practicable, all suspect ACMs within a building. The focus is on areas that could be disturbed or damaged during regular occupancy, maintenance, or installations. It's designed to ensure that any asbestos present is properly managed to avoid exposure.
-
Refurbishment and Demolition Survey: Prior to any refurbishment or demolition work, this survey is essential. It seeks to identify all ACMs in the area affected by the proposed works or throughout the entire building if demolition is planned. Being fully intrusive, it may require destructive inspection methods to access all areas, including those difficult to reach. This survey is critical for ensuring that refurbishment or demolition activities do not pose a health risk by disturbing asbestos. It is performed on vacant properties to ensure safety and compliance.
