Asbestos Management Survey

Did you know that any building built or refurbished before the year 2000 could still contain asbestos?

An Asbestos Management Survey is the standard asbestos survey that should be carried out for the continued management of asbestos in premises. The purpose behind an Asbestos management survey is to locate, as far as reasonably practicable, the presence and extent of any suspect Asbestos containing materials (ACMs) in the building and assess their condition.

Asbestos in Buildings

Below are 5 key points you really need to know regarding Asbestos in Buildings

1) Asbestos only becomes a problem once it’s disturbed and the fibres airborne.
2) Any building built prior to year 2000 can contain asbestos.
3) Non-domestic buildings must have an asbestos survey report and register.
4) Asbestos materials identified in the building must be managed & the register updated regularly.
5) Preventing exposure to asbestos dust will protect against related illness and fatal diseases

Asbestos Law

What’s the worst could happen?

If you own or responsible for a commercial building and you fail to manage the asbestos correctly you could expose individuals to asbestos fibres resulting in a prosecution. For more information regarding asbestos law then please contact us today.
