Management Asbestos Survey

Often referred to as a “Type 1” asbestos survey, it was renamed in 2006, when the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006 came into force.

This is the survey that you will need in order to comply with the regulations.

The regulations apply only to commercial property, or in domestic premises that become a place of work.

Where We Look

During a management asbestos survey, the asbestos surveyors will visit your premises and will need access to all areas, including cleaner’s cupboards, meter cupboards etc.

What We Look For

The surveyors will look for any materials that are likely or known to contain asbestos and will photograph them for inclusion into your asbestos register.

These are known as Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM’s).

The photographs will be identified on a floor plan of your building or premises, which is also included in your asbestos register.

 

Samples will be taken of materials that are identified, usually to rule out the presence of asbestos, though in some cases, certain materials may be “presumed” or “strongly presumed” to contain asbestos.

Usually, the only materials that will be presumed or strongly presumed to contain asbestos will be those that cannot be safely reached or accessed, for example on high bay roofs, in confined spaces, or within live electrical or gas equipment.

If asbestos containing materials are discovered during a survey, it does not automatically follow that these items should be removed.

It’s rare for us to make a recommendation to remove such materials, unless they are in poor condition, can be easily disturbed, or present a great risk to the building’s occupiers or users.

In all cases, the asbestos register will provide you with a recommendation as to what action you need to take, if any.

In most cases, the recommendation will be to manage it, which basically means to monitor its condition for signs of damage or deterioration.

We know that asbestos removal is very expensive and disruptive so we work with you to decide on the most appropriate course of action.

This means we will only recommend removal of materials when it is absolutely necessary, or when the building, or a part of the building is to be refurbished or demolished.

Our approach to a Management Asbestos Survey is to make your life easier, not to create difficulties for you!
