TYPES OF ASBESTOS SURVEYS
-
MANAGEMENT SURVEY – Identifies asbestos-containing materials that could be disturbed during normal occupation and routine maintenance.
-
REFURBISHMENT AND DEMOLITION SURVEY – Required before major work or demolition to locate asbestos materials that could be disturbed.
-
TARGETED SURVEY – Focuses on a specific area, such as a single wall, where work is planned.
​
These surveys produce a 28-page report and maintain an up-to-date asbestos register, which is a legal requirement for landlords.
UNDERSTANDING THE DANGERS OF ASBESTOS
Asbestos exposure poses serious health risks, including mesothelioma, lung cancer, asbestosis, and pleural thickening. The danger occurs when asbestos fibres are released into the air, usually when materials are disturbed, damaged, or removed without proper controls. Inhaled fibres can remain in the lungs for decades, and symptoms often develop many years after exposure. Smoking significantly increases these risks. The safest approach is to leave asbestos in good condition undisturbed and ensure any necessary work is handled by trained professionals.
