Site surveys

The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006 require employers and other dutyholders to prevent the exposure of their workforce to asbestos, or where this is not possible, to reduce the exposure to the lowest possible level. Regulation 4 specifically requires an asbestos management strategy to be in place. 

Air Surveys Limited can undertake a full survey of your site to determine whether asbestos is present and in what state of repair.  Surveys can take one of three forms:

• Type 1 survey, a location and assessment survey (presumptive survey) which does not require sampling, as suspect materials are presumed to contain asbestos and managed accordingly
• Type 2 survey, a standard sampling, identification and assessment survey (sampling survey) collects representative samples which are analysed for the presence of asbestos
• Type 3 survey, a full access sampling and identification survey (pre-demolition/major refurbishment survey) is an intrusive survey which may involve destructive inspection.

Please contact us to discuss your requirements in more detail.
