Do I Need an Asbestos Survey on a Commercial Property in Devon?
As a commercial property owner or manager in Devon, it's essential to understand the risks associated with asbestos and the regulations that govern its management. Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) can be found in many commercial buildings, particularly those constructed before the 1980s. If you're planning to refurbish, renovate, or demolish your property, you may need to conduct an asbestos survey to identify potential risks.
What is an Asbestos Survey and Why Do I Need One?
An asbestos survey is a thorough inspection of your commercial property to identify the presence of asbestos-containing materials. The survey will help you understand the type, location, and condition of ACMs, as well as the risks associated with them. This information is crucial in ensuring the safety of your employees, visitors, and contractors. In the UK, the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 requires commercial property owners to manage asbestos risks and provide information about ACMs to anyone who may disturb them during construction or maintenance work.
