ASBESTOS-INSPECTION.COM - UK Asbestos Surveys

The Conrol of Asbestos (2006) regulations regulations came into force in the UK in 2006, making it the responsibility of the Duty Holder of commercial premises to manage any asbestos that may be on the premises.

This will mean that a formal document or Asbestos Register needs to be kept so that any staff or other personnel that visit the building are not exposed to any fibres.

To identify the presence of any asbestos containing materials a full Asbestos Survey needs to be undertaken.

This will identify the extent and condition of any asbestos containing materials found and make recommendations regarding any repairs or removal and should be undertaken by a qualified Asbestos Surveyor.

The aim of the survey is to provide necessary information to implement a Management Strategy of any Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM's).
