Do I Need an Asbestos Survey Before Doing Works in Devon?

If you're planning to carry out any building works, renovations, or demolitions in Devon, it's essential to consider the potential risks associated with asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). Asbestos is a hazardous substance that can cause serious health problems if disturbed or inhaled. In the UK, there are strict regulations and guidelines in place to manage asbestos in buildings, and an asbestos survey is a crucial step in ensuring compliance.

What is an Asbestos Survey?

An asbestos survey is a thorough inspection of a building to identify the presence, type, and condition of asbestos-containing materials. The survey is typically carried out by a trained and certified asbestos professional who will assess the risks associated with the ACMs and provide recommendations for their management or removal. The survey will also identify any areas where asbestos may be disturbed during building works, allowing you to take necessary precautions to minimize the risks.

Why Do I Need an Asbestos Survey in Devon?

In the UK, the Control of Asbestos (CoA) Regulations 2012 require that all non-domestic premises, including commercial and industrial properties, have an asbestos management plan in place. This plan must include an asbestos survey to identify the presence and condition of ACMs. If you're planning to carry out building works, renovations, or demolitions, an asbestos survey is essential to ensure compliance with the regulations and to minimize the risks associated with asbestos.
