Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was once widely used in construction due to its heat resistance, tensile strength, and insulating properties. However, its now known to be extremely hazardous to human health.
Asbestos fibers are microscopic and can easily become airborne when disturbed. When inhaled, these fibers can cause serious respiratory diseases such as lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma.
Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) were commonly used in buildings constructed before the 1980s. They can be found in a wide range of building materials, including insulation, flooring, pipes, ceiling tiles, and roofing.
If youre planning to renovate or demolish a building in Halsetown, its crucial to have an asbestos survey carried out before any work begins. This will identify any ACMs present in the building and determine the level of risk they pose.
Asbestos testing involves taking samples of suspected ACMs and sending them to a laboratory for analysis. The samples are examined under a microscope to determine whether they contain asbestos fibers.
There are two types of asbestos testing: management surveys and refurbishment/demolition surveys.
A management survey is required for all non-domestic buildings built before 2000. Its designed to locate any ACMs in the building and assess their condition. The results of the survey are used to create an asbestos management plan, which outlines how to manage the asbestos-containing materials in the building.
A refurbishment/demolition survey is required before any refurbishment or demolition work is carried out on a building. This type of survey is more intrusive than a management survey and involves taking samples from all areas of the building. The results are used to create a demolition/refurbishment plan, which outlines how to safely remove the ACMs before work begins.
