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. However, when asbestos materials are disturbed they release asbestos fibres into the air which can cause serious health risks such as lung cancer and mesothelioma. A proper asbestos survey will help you locate and assess ACMs so you can manage or remove them safely in accordance with the Control of Asbestos 2012.
An asbestos survey is a detailed inspection to locate asbestos in a building, including hidden asbestos containing materials. The survey will assess the condition of these materials and provide recommendations for safe management. Surveys are required for compliance with regulations and must be done before any major refurbishment or demolition work.
Asbestos surveys are crucial for the safety of building occupants and contractors. Here’s why:
The Control of Asbestos 2012 Regulations mandate that building owners and duty holders manage asbestos risks. This includes doing regular asbestos surveys and maintaining an asbestos register.
After a survey, a report lists the type, location, and condition of all ACMs. This helps update the register and formulate an asbestos management plan.
An asbestos management survey starts with identifying all ACMs, which are listed in the asbestos register. Regular inspections and proper management ensure the safety of the building's occupants.
