Asbestos Assessment Surveys

Do you believe that you are need of an asbestos survey? Are you aware of the requirements of the Health and Safety Executive guidance document MDHS 100? Do you know which type of asbestos survey you require? When people hear the word asbestos they immediately think of a dangerous hazard, of cancer or of death. The majority of us are fully aware of the dangers of asbestos however how many of us are aware of the regulations involved?
This is where the advice and support of a specialist asbestos survey company can be invaluable. They will, of course, be fully aware of each of the regulations and are likely to offer an extensive range of asbestos surveys to tailor for each specific need as well as offering asbestos safety awareness courses for the tradesmen that require such a certificate by law.
When it comes to a specific type of asbestos survey they can normally be spilt into three different groups;
You have the "type one asbestos survey". This is a where the surveyor will try to find or locate any of what they call "asbestos containing materials" or ACMs.
The type two report is the same as the type one report but it goes into much more detail, taking away samples which will then be tested for asbestos etc.
The type three report is the more comprehensive of all of these reports as it attempts to locate all of the asbestos containing materials within a building however hard they may be to reach - many a wall has been known to have been knocked down for these types of report.
As you may be starting to realise it is quite complex and this is why I would recommend you seek the advice of an asbestos specialist.
