How Important Is Asbestos Survey in Sussex

According to the Health and Safety Executive, asbestos was widely used as a building material in the UK from the 1950s until it was banned in 1999. Asbestos was used in a variety of different materials, such as cement, tiles, insulation, and electrical components, and its use was particularly prevalent in industrial settings. While asbestos can be a useful material due to its heat and fire-resistant properties, it also poses significant health risks to humans. Asbestos exposure has been linked to a range of respiratory diseases, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. That's why the asbestos survey in Sussex is crucial to identify whether your property has asbestos and learn what to do if it does.

Asbestos A Hazardous Material

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used as a building material due to its fire-resistant and insulating properties. It was commonly used in the 20th century for industrial, commercial and residential construction. However, today we know that asbestos is a dangerous and hazardous material that can cause serious and irreversible diseases. Asbestos releases small, sharp fibers into the air, which, when inhaled, can cause significant harm to the lungs and respiratory system. Asbestos-related diseases can take years to develop - up to 30 years or more from the initial exposure.

What is the Asbestos Survey?

An asbestos survey is an inspection of a building or property to determine the presence and state of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). The survey specifies the location, extent and condition of the ACMs present in the building. The survey is essential to identify asbestos on any premises and to prevent accidental exposure to this dangerous material.

Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex offers two types of survey: asbestos management survey and asbestos refurbishment and demolition survey. A management survey is used to identify any asbestos-containing materials present in a building, and the survey is aimed at anyone who is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the building. The refurbishment and demolition survey is used to identify any asbestos-containing materials present in a building before starting any construction or demolition work.

Why do You Need an Asbestos Survey?

Asbestos is deadly, and its presence in your property creates potential health and financial liability. An asbestos survey is a legal requirement under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. The purpose of the survey is to identify all asbestos-containing materials present in a building and to provide you with an asbestos register. The register will outline the location, and condition of materials that could contain asbestos. Without a survey, you will not be able to manage the risks associated with asbestos, and your property could become hazardous to anyone who enters it.

Management Survey

Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are common in many buildings constructed before 2000. A management survey is the standard asbestos survey that you will need to have if you are responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of a building. The purpose of a management survey is to identify the presence, location, and extent of any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) within the building. The survey will help to identify any ACMs which could be potentially disturbed during normal occupancy or maintenance and determine the condition of the materials. Our management survey meets the requirements of the official guidance HSG264 Asbestos Management Survey Guide.

Refurbishment and Demolition Survey

A refurbishment and demolition survey is required before any refurbishment or demolition works are carried out. The purpose of a refurbishment and demolition survey is to ensure that any asbestos-containing materials are identified and safely removed before the start of any works. This kind of survey is used to identify all ACMs in the areas where the construction would take place. In the survey, samples will be taken from each ACM and analyzed in a laboratory. The refurbishment and demolition survey meets the requirements of the official guidance HSG264 Asbestos Refurbishment and Demolition Survey Guide.

Asbestos Management

An asbestos management plan is a written document detailing how risks from asbestos-containing materials will be managed. The plan is designed to safeguard against any exposure to asbestos fibers in the property, both internally and externally. The asbestos management plan includes what to do if a problem with asbestos is discovered, how to control the risk, how to reduce exposure, and how to manage waste. The management plan will help to ensure that the ACM's are kept in good condition, and any hazards are dealt with promptly.

Asbestos Management Survey

An asbestos management survey involves a visual inspection to determine the location and condition of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in the building, and then formulate a management plan to control risks associated with those materials. The survey will provide essential information on how to manage the asbestos-containing materials contained in the asbestos register. The asbestos management survey aims to ensure that the asbestos-containing materials are managed effectively and safely.
