Asbestos management surveys inspect premises for asbestos-containing materials (ACMs).

An asbestos management survey comprises of sampling, identification and assessment of asbestos-containing materials, presented in a comprehensive report with material assessments to enable you, the duty holder, to comply with the Control of Asbestos Regulations (CAR) 2012.

The purpose of the survey is to locate, as far as reasonably practicable, the presence and extent of any suspect ACMs in the building which could be damaged or disturbed during normal occupancy.

A comprehensive risk assessment of their condition (material) and potential to release fibres (priority) is undertaken. Samples from each type of suspect ACM are collected and analysed to determine their asbestos type. The above data will allow you, the client, to prioritise the management of ACMs within your building and to ensure your duty to manage asbestos-contained materials within your premises and compliance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations (CAR) 2012.

Asbestos refurbishment or demolition surveys are required prior to any major refurbishment or demolition work in order to locate all asbestos-containing materials within the building. To ensure legal compliance and the safety of all employees, this asbestos is then removed from the building prior to refurbishment.

A refurbishment and demolition survey is used to locate and describe, as far as reasonably practicable, all ACMs in the building or localised area of interest.

This type of survey will utilise destructive inspection techniques to gain access to all areas, including those that may be difficult to reach. Atmosphere Environmental will ensure your company complies with all relevant and necessary regulations and workplace legislation, including the Control of Asbestos Regulations and the Construction Design and Management Regulations 2015 (CDM).
