Management Asbestos Survey
The Management Asbestos Survey replaces the old type 1 and type 2 asbestos survey.
This is the survey that you will need in order to comply with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006 as the old type 1 and type 2 asbestos surveys no longer exist.
During an asbestos management survey, the asbestos surveyors will visit your premises and will need access to all areas, including cleaner’s cupboards, meter cupboards etc.
They will look for any materials that are likely or known to contain asbestos and will photograph them for inclusion into your asbestos register. These photographs will be identified on a floor plan of your building or premises, which is also incuded 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.
It doesn’t usually matter if asbestos containing materials are discovered during a survey, since it does not automatically follow that these items should be removed.
It is only where certain types of asbestos that is in a poor condition, or in an area where it is likely to be easily disturbed, that we would recommend removal.
Our approach to a Management Asbestos Survey is to make your life easier, not to create difficulties for you!
