Here's how to create an asbestos management plan. The first step is to identify Asbestos containing materials (ACM) that may be disturbed during everyday occupancy or minor maintenance works. Then, you'll use this survey information to create an asbestos register. Finally, you can use the register to develop an asbestos management plan for the building.
These surveys are semi-intrusive meaning we do not cause unnecessarily damage to the property during the site investigation, unlike refurbishment and demolition surveys. Samples are taken, where possible to do so without causing major cosmetic damage, to categorically determine the presence of asbestos in materials.
It's likely that you spend at least one-third of your week in a working environment and, like most people, you probably don't think much about the potential dangers associated with asbestos. Asbestos has many good building qualities, such as a high resistance to heat and electricity. However, it is extremely important to make sure that this material does not release any airborne fibres into the air around you.
Therefore, it is not only a legal responsibility but also morally important to have an asbestos management plan in place to ensure the safety of workers in your place of work.
Asbestos management surveys are performed to identify asbestos in a workplace which may be disturbed during normal, everyday occupancy or during any foreseeable maintenance work.
Asbestos Management Plans are semi-intrusive meaning we do not cause unnecessarily damage to the property during the site investigation. Unlike refurbishment and demolition surveys samples are taken, where possible to do so without causing major cosmetic damage, to categorically determine the presence of asbestos in materials.
The information gathered from the site work and from the results of sampling will be used to generate an asbestos register. This register can then be used to develop an asbestos management plan for the workplace.
