The Role of Asbestos Surveys in Ensuring Compliance

EnviroHive’s asbestos management surveys involve a thorough investigation of all areas where asbestos may be present. Our surveyors inspect roofs, floors, walls, ceilings, insulation, and pipework to locate any potential ACMs. Samples are carefully collected and sent to an accredited laboratory for testing. Once the results are confirmed, we provide a detailed report that includes:

The location of asbestos.
The type of asbestos.
The condition of the material.
The level of damage or risk it poses.

This report allows property owners, leaseholders, and managers to make informed decisions about the management or removal of asbestos. In some cases, asbestos can be safely managed by sealing it or implementing regular monitoring. However, if the material is damaged or poses a significant health risk, removal may be necessary.

Legislation and Asbestos Management Responsibilities

Compliance with asbestos regulations is not just a legal requirement but also an ethical responsibility to protect tenants, employees, and the general public. The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 places a duty on property owners and those responsible for property maintenance to:

Conduct asbestos surveys for any property built before asbestos use was banned.
Create and maintain an asbestos management plan for the property.
Ensure that asbestos removal or containment is carried out by licensed professionals when necessary.
Regularly review and update asbestos management plans to ensure ongoing compliance.
