Asbestos surveys are essential in buildings built before 2000. With the risks associated with asbestos containing materials it’s important to manage the risks effectively. This guide covers everything you need to know about asbestos surveys including types of surveys, asbestos management plans, and how to stay compliant with regulations.
Asbestos containing materials (ACMs) were used in construction because of their fire resistance and strength.
