Asbestos Surveys

Many millions of tonnes of asbestos containing materials remain within premises across the UK and it is vital to the health of employees, tradesmen and emergency services that you are aware of the location, extent and condition of all asbestos within your premises. If you are an employer or are self employed and have some or all of the responsibility for conducting repairs upon your premises you may well be the "Duty Holder" in which case any legal responsibility for ensuring your asbestos survey has been conducted will rest with you.

Anyone conducting day to day, repairs and routine maintenance within your premises has the potential to be exposed to any ACMs that may be present.

You must make your asbestos survey/register available to all maintenance staff so that they can be sure that they are not putting themselves or others at risk from the work they are planning.

Conducting asbestos surveys will often be our client's first step toward effective asbestos management by identifying any asbestos containing materials located within the affected premises.

Allsite asbestos surveyors hold as a minimum the P402 Proficiency Certificate in 'Building Surveys and Bulk Sampling for asbestos' To accompany this we are UKAS certified for asbestos surveying and inspections.

To suit all requirements we offer different types of asbestos surveys as defined in the HSE Document Method for Determining Hazardous Substances 100 (MDHS100). The type of asbestos survey that you will require will depend upon the task to which the survey will be used.

Types of Survey:

TYPE 1 SURVEY	Location and assessment of asbestos	Presumptive asbestos survey
TYPE 2 SURVEY	Sampling, Identification Assessment Asbestos Survey	Sampling Asbestos Surveys
TYPE 3 SURVEY	Full Access / Intrusive Sampling and Identification Asbestos Survey	Pre-demolition or Major Refurbishment Asbestos Surveys

A Type 1 survey is rarely used in today's market as it only highlights all materials suspected of containing asbestos. More info required...

A type 2 asbestos survey usually provides the basis for an asbestos register and subsequent management plan to be established as defined with the duty holder requirements as set out in regulation 4 of the CAR 2006.

A type 3 asbestos survey will be necessary where areas are undergoing major refurbishment or demolition works.
