Asbestos Surveys
Envirochem routinely carry out a variety of asbestos surveys all in accordance with HSG 264.
Envirochem undertake Management and Major Refurbishment/Demolition Asbestos Surveys in accordance with our UKAS accreditation based upon HSE Guidance Note Asbestos: The survey guide (HSG 264). We also undertake Re-inspection Surveys of buildings which have previously undergone Management Asbestos Surveys.
The report is tailored in every way to the client's needs. Reports are produced using asbestos survey management software, and are available in special formats if required. A signed digital copy of the report is emailed to the client following quality checking.
Asbestos Surveys are quoted on an individual basis. For a free quotation please contact us with as much detail as possible about the scope of your project including the size, age, usage, location and any other relevant information about the property.
Management Asbestos Surveys
This type of survey is non-intrusive and is undertaken during normal occupancy to identify and then manage all reasonably accessible asbestos containing materials. The structure of the management survey includes the following:
- Executive summary of identified asbestos containing materials, recommended management actions
- Introduction and initial observations
- Areas of no access
- Detailed assessment of each room
- Asbestos fibre identification report
- Asbestos material assessment
- Table of negative samples
- Photographs of positive sample locations
- Annotated site plans showing all sample locations
Major Refurbishment / Pre Demolition Asbestos Surveys
This type of survey involves intrusive inspection to locate all asbestos containing materials so that they can be removed and is necessary when a building is to be upgraded, refurbished or demolished. They are generally undertaken in buildings which are vacant and/or unoccupied.The structure of the major refurbishment/ pre demolition asbestos survey includes the following:
- Executive summary of identified asbestos containing materials, recommended removal actions
- Introduction and initial observations
- Areas of no access
- Asbestos fibre identification report
- Table of positive samples
- Table of negative samples
- Photographs of positive sample locations
- Annotated site plans showing all sample locations
Re-inspection Surveys
The Control of Asbestos Regulations (CAR) 2012 specify that identified asbestos containing materials should be re-inspected routinely (e.g on an annual basis) but more frequently in high disturbance environments. This re-inspection of the condition of the known asbestos based materials will ensure the asbestos material assessment always contains current information. Also any damage caused by disturbance or any deterioration will be identified and therefore remedial work can be undertaken to reduce the risk to building users.
