specialise in building surveys for
the detection of asbestos content. We enable our clients in Norfolk and
the rest of the UK to meet the
requirements of the Control of Asbestos
Regulations 2006, by assessing the various materials within
client premises. . Our asbestos surveyors are fully trained by NATAS to P402 (Building Surveying and Bulk Sampling for Asbestos) standard, and hold the industry recognised BOHS P402 qualification enabling us to offer any of the three fundamental survey types - |
Managing
Asbestos: On 21st May 2004, Regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos at Work Regulations 2002 became Law, creating a new legal duty to manage Asbestos in all non-domestic premises. This was exceeded in 2006 with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006The regulation reminds us that the Duty Holder (anyone who is responsible for maintaining and repairing all or part of a property, or who has control of the building - for example the occupier or the owner) has an explicit duty under the act, to assess and manage the risk to their staff and indeed anyone who enters the building, from the effects of asbestos in the building. It is also likely that the building owner will also ultimately have a liability under the regulation, even if the building is rented out, and should therefore be able to demonstrate that all reasonable steps have been taken to ensure compliance.The regulation requires that the Duty Holder must determine if the building has any asbestos containing materials (ACM's) within it ,and if so, what condition they are in -

the fact that as we enter 2008, it's almost four years since the Control
of Asbestos at Work regulation 4 became law, there are still many
thousands of businesses that have not had a survey carried out as required
by law

Our survey report will detail the location, condition and contain Material Assessment data for each suspected 'asbestos containing material' (ACM) in the premises, forming the basis of an asbestos register for use within your asbestos management programme. We will also produce and maintain an updateable electronic register, if required, for larger sites. It is a common misconception of many managers that their building doesn't contain asbestos - because they can't see anything that "looks" like asbestos - see our examples page for some of the products that could contain asbestos in your premises. All types of businesses from small 'owner occupier' premises to large industrial sites with multiple buildings are catered for, with fast turn around and competitive pricing. |

"I only run a
small business from a rented shop and have never used asbestos - why do
I need to worry about having a survey done" ? |
