Understanding Asbestos Surveys

The Purpose of Asbestos Surveys

Asbestos surveys serve as the foundation for safe asbestos management. These surveys are instrumental in identifying asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), assessing their condition, and developing meticulous management plans. At Supernova, we take pride in our expertise in conducting these surveys accurately and effectively.

Asbestos surveys serve three main purposes:

Identifying ACMs: The primary objective of an asbestos survey is to locate and identify ACMs within a property. This critical step forms the basis for all subsequent actions.

Assessing the Condition of ACMs: Understanding the condition of ACMs is crucial for assessing their potential risk. Surveys provide insights into whether these materials are in good condition or require immediate attention.

Creating a Management Plan: Based on the findings from the survey, a comprehensive asbestos management plan is crafted. This plan outlines how to handle, monitor, and mitigate asbestos risks effectively.

Types of Asbestos Surveys

Asbestos surveys are not one-size-fits-all; they vary based on the purpose and scope of the survey. Three common types of asbestos surveys include:

Management Surveys: These surveys are conducted during the normal occupation of a building. They aim to identify the presence and condition of ACMs and are essential for ongoing management and risk assessment.

Refurbishment and Demolition Surveys: When refurbishment or demolition work is planned, more extensive surveys are necessary. These surveys locate all ACMs to ensure their safe removal or containment during the project.

Re-inspection Surveys: Scheduled re-inspection surveys are vital to ensure that ACMs remain in a safe condition. Regular monitoring keeps asbestos management plans up-to-date and compliant with changing circumstances.

The Compliance Partnership

Compliance with asbestos regulations is not a choice; it is a legal requirement. Failing to comply can result in severe penalties, jeopardizing the safety of occupants and property. This is why partnering with experts like Supernova is essential.

Legal Requirements and Regulations

Asbestos management is governed by various regulations, with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 being the primary legislation. These regulations place specific legal obligations on property owners and managers, including:

The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012: These regulations dictate the legal obligations surrounding asbestos in non-domestic premises. Compliance is mandatory to protect occupants and workers from the risks associated with asbestos exposure.

Duty to Manage Asbestos in Non-domestic Premises: Property owners and managers have a legal duty to manage asbestos on their premises. This duty includes identifying ACMs, assessing their condition, and developing an asbestos management plan.

Penalties for Non-compliance: Non-compliance with asbestos regulations can result in hefty fines and legal repercussions. It is a risk that no responsible property owner or manager should take lightly.
