What is an Asbestos Survey?
At UK Safety Management, we provide comprehensive asbestos surveys conducted by our qualified professionals. Our surveys are designed to systematically assess buildings and identify the presence, type, condition, and extent of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). Our aim is to prioritise the safety of occupants by identifying potential asbestos risks and offering expert recommendations for effective management or safe removal of ACMs.

When Are Asbestos Surveys Required?
Whether you own, manage, or are responsible for maintenance for a property, conducting an asbestos survey is crucial to meet legal obligations and assess the presence and condition of asbestos. This is especially vital for older buildings constructed before 2000, given the widespread use of asbestos in construction materials. However, we recommend considering an asbestos survey for any building, regardless of its age, to prioritise the safety of occupants. Trust us to provide comprehensive asbestos survey services for your peace of mind.
How Are Asbestos Surveys Completed?
UK Safety Management offers professional asbestos surveys by qualified surveyors. Our inspections include visual examinations, sampling, and risk assessments. The asbestos management survey identifies and evaluates ACMs, providing recommendations for effective management. Refurbishment and demolition asbestos surveys are essential during renovations or demolitions, assessing potential ACMs to prevent exposure. Our team aims to cause as little disruption as possible, which is why our staff work with speed and efficiency to complete all asbestos surveys promptly.
What Needs to Happen if Asbestos Is Discovered?
Discovering asbestos-containing materials during a survey or any work requires immediate action. We advise stopping work in the affected area to prevent the spread of asbestos fibres. It’s crucial to evacuate the area to ensure the safety of occupants and minimise exposure. We recommend placing appropriate signage to warn others about the presence of asbestos and isolating the area to restrict access until remedial action is taken. Reporting the asbestos discovery to authorities, supervisors, and responsible individuals is essential.
Who is Responsible for Carrying Out Asbestos Surveys?
At UK Safety Management, we understand that the responsibility of asbestos surveys in non-domestic properties rests with property owners or those in charge of maintenance. However, you don’t have to handle it alone. Our team of qualified asbestos surveyors can perform the survey on your behalf. As an accredited asbestos surveying company, we have the expertise to ensure compliance and keep your building safe. Making sure that you’re compliant with current regulations will help you to avoid any asbestos-related incidents.
Do You Need an Asbestos Survey?
We highly recommend conducting an asbestos survey for non-domestic properties and premises. It is especially crucial for buildings constructed before 2000 to assess the presence and condition of asbestos-containing materials, ensuring the safety of occupants. Compliance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 may necessitate an asbestos survey to meet legal obligations. Our team of qualified asbestos professionals can provide tailored guidance on whether an asbestos survey is necessary for your specific circumstances.
