Duty to Manage series | 4. Your comprehensive guide to asbestos surveys: Protecting your premises with Assured Safety Management Ltd
In the realm of property management, the safety and well-being of occupants are paramount.
For buildings constructed or refurbished before 2000, one significant concern stands out: asbestos.
Recognizing and managing asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are crucial steps in ensuring a safe environment for all.
This is where the expertise of Assured Safety Management, a UKAS-accredited body, becomes indispensable.
Understanding the need for asbestos surveys
Asbestos surveys are vital tools in the identification, assessment, and management of ACMs within any premises. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) outlines two primary types of surveys: management surveys for regular occupancy and refurbishment or demolition surveys for any structural work. These surveys serve to:
Provide precise data on the location, quantity, and condition of ACMs.
Assess the risk and determine if remedial actions are necessary.
Aid in the creation of an asbestos register and management plan.
Ensure the removal of hidden ACMs before any refurbishment or demolition.
The role of these surveys cannot be overstated, as they form the foundation of effective asbestos management and compliance with health and safety regulations.
HSE strongly recommends using accredited asbestos surveying organisations
