Understanding the Importance of Asbestos Surveys in Devon
As a homeowner or business owner in Devon, it's essential to understand the risks associated with asbestos in your building. Asbestos is a hazardous material that can cause serious health problems if not handled properly. To identify and manage asbestos risks, you need to conduct an asbestos survey. But did you know that there are two types of asbestos surveys? In this article, we'll explain the difference between them and why they're crucial for your building's safety.
What is an Asbestos Management Survey?
An Asbestos Management Survey is the most common type of survey. It's designed to locate and identify asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in your building, which can be disturbed during normal occupancy, including during maintenance and repair work. This survey is essential for building owners, employers, and anyone responsible for maintaining a building. Our experienced surveyors at 1st Choice Asbestos will assess the condition of ACMs, provide a risk assessment, and recommend any necessary actions to manage the risks.
What is an Asbestos Refurbishment and Demolition Survey?
An Asbestos Refurbishment and Demolition Survey is a more intrusive survey, typically required when a building is undergoing renovation, refurbishment, or demolition. This survey is designed to identify all ACMs in the building, including those that may be hidden or inaccessible. Our surveyors will use specialized equipment to access all areas of the building, including behind walls, ceilings, and floors. This survey is crucial to ensure that all ACMs are removed or managed safely before any work begins.
