With fully equipped teams ready to go right across the whole of Thanet, our surveyors can be with you at short notice to inspect your premises.
If you’ve already had an asbestos survey conducted, you should have critical information available such as a Material Hazard Assessment, which outlines a clear demonstration of how liable an asbestos containing material (ACM) is to releasing airborne fibres.
It is then down to the duty holder to determine the specific risk that each asbestos containing material (ACM) poses based on the level of use in the area where it was discovered, and then to present an Asbestos Management Plan.
As part of the proceeding management of asbestos containing materials (ACMs), continual monitoring post asbestos survey is required at regular intervals. Any ACM found or suspected ACM will need to be inspected periodically to ensure that it has not worsened or sustained breakages. As a minimum, ACMs should be inspected every six to twelve months.
Asbestos analysis must form part of every asbestos inspection survey, no matter what type of building is concerned.
All suspect materials should be analysed by a fully licensed asbestos surveyor, and then carefully removed to be taken away for analysis using microscopy techniques at a UKAS accredited laboratory.
Under normal circumstances, asbestos test results are generally ready for oversight within 48 hours with a certificate of analysis detailing the types of asbestos present within the sample material tested.
