Asbestos Management Surveys in Halkyn

An Asbestos Management Survey must be undertaken on any building that was built or refurbished before the year 2000, the overall purpose of an asbestos survey is to locate, identify and asses the condition of all asbestos containing materials present within the buildings structure or plant equipment and to implement a safe and effective plan to manage the ACM's found.

An Asbestos Management Survey usually involves some form of minor intrusions into the buildings fabric in order to thoroughly and correctly compile an effective asbestos management plan. The extent of destruction varies from property to property and is usually determined by what is deemed to be reasonably practicable.

Upon completion of your asbestos management survey, Fibre Safe will provide with a comprehensive and detailed report which clearly outlines the location, type and condition of all asbestos found within the building.

A Fibre Safe Asbestos Management Survey will include an in-depth risk assessment of the condition of the ACM's that have been discovered and their potential to release dangerous fibres into the air supply should they be disturbed at any point in the future.

The risk assessment will serve to prioritise the Asbestos Containing Materials deemed to have a greater potential to contaminate the area so the appropriate actions can be taken to minimise and control the associated risks.

Asbestos Management Surveys only cover routine maintenance works, whenever extensive works are to be carried out then an asbestos refurbishment survey is required by law.

Pre-refurbishment surveys are intrusive and can be targeted to areas which may be affected by proposed refurbishment works. A pre-refurbishment asbestos survey will be required by your CDM coordinator under the Construction Design and Management Regulations 2012.

This type of survey is more intrusive than a management survey and should be undertaken alongside a project specific plan of work to ensure that the survey covers all areas planned for refurbishment.

Note - this type of survey is fully intrusive and should not be undertaken in a property that is occupied or due to be reoccupied after the survey has been completed. Electrical, mechanical and gas services should be isolated to enable the asbestos surveyors to access all areas.

What the HSE say:

A demolition survey is needed before any demolition work is carried out. This type of survey is used to locate and describe, as far as reasonably practicable, all ACMs in the whole building if demolition is planned. The survey will be fully intrusive and involve destructive inspection, as necessary, to gain access to all areas, including those that may be difficult to reach.

A demolition survey may also be required in other circumstances, eg when more intrusive maintenance and repair work will be carried out or for plant removal or dismantling.
