Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon

As a school administrator or facilities manager in Devon, you have a responsibility to provide a safe and healthy environment for your students and staff. One crucial aspect of this is managing asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in your school buildings. But how often should asbestos surveys be carried out in schools?

Asbestos surveys are a critical component of asbestos management in schools. These surveys help identify the presence, location, and condition of ACMs in your school buildings. Regular surveys enable you to take proactive measures to prevent asbestos exposure and minimize the risk of asbestos-related health problems. In the UK, the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 requires schools to manage asbestos in their buildings, and regular surveys are an essential part of this process.

The frequency of asbestos surveys in schools depends on various factors, including the age and condition of the buildings, the type and quantity of ACMs present, and the level of risk associated with these materials. As a general rule, asbestos surveys should be carried out at least every 12 months, or more frequently if:

• The school building is old or has a history of asbestos use
• There are signs of ACM deterioration or damage
• There have been changes to the building's layout or usage
• New ACMs are introduced during refurbishment or maintenance work

At 1st Choice Asbestos, our experienced and certified surveyors will conduct a thorough asbestos survey of your school buildings. Our surveys include:

• A visual inspection of the premises to identify potential ACMs
• Sampling and analysis of suspected ACMs
• A detailed report outlining the location, condition, and risk assessment of ACMs
