Asbestos Management Survey
Conducted to identify asbestos materials in residential, commercial & industrial buildings
The primary purpose of this survey is to ensure the safety of occupants, workers, and maintenance staff by identifying potential asbestos hazards and outlining necessary measures for their management.
Our Asbestos Management Survey Includes…
Identification of Asbestos
Our experienced surveyors will identify asbestos materials by visual inspection and sampling of any suspect materials.
Investigation
Our management surveys include inspection of all accessible areas of the building and minor intrusive investigation.
Recommendations
Our reports include recommendations for safe management of the asbestos materials to ensure they do not pose a risk to building users.
Sampling and Analysis
Samples of suspected asbestos materials taken by our surveyors are analysed in a UKAS accredited laboratory to confirm the presence of asbestos.
Survey Report
Our report includes clear plans, photographs and sample analysis results as well as the location, type & condition of asbestos materials.
Risk Assessment
Our surveyors calculate a material risk assessment of the potential for asbestos materials to release asbestos fibres into the air.
An asbestos survey is not an asbestos management plan. An asbestos management plan is a separate document which outlines how asbestos materials will be safely managed and monitored. Please visit our Asbestos Management Plan page for more information.
