Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon

If you've recently received an asbestos survey report for your property in Devon, you may be wondering what some of the technical terms mean. One term that may be confusing is MAS. In this article, we'll break down what MAS means in an asbestos survey report and what it could mean for your property.

An asbestos survey report is a document that outlines the presence of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in a building. The report is usually conducted by a licensed asbestos surveyor who inspects the property for ACMs and assesses the risk they pose to occupants. The report will typically include information on the location, type, and condition of the ACMs, as well as recommendations for their management or removal.

MAS stands for "Material Assessment Score". It's a numerical score that assesses the risk posed by an asbestos-containing material. The score takes into account factors such as the material's condition, accessibility, and likelihood of disturbance. The MAS score is usually expressed as a number between 1 and 10, with higher scores indicating a higher risk.

The MAS score is calculated based on a number of factors, including:

• The type and condition of the asbestos-containing material
• The likelihood of the material being disturbed or damaged
• The accessibility of the material
• The potential for fibre release
  The surveyor will assess each of these factors and assign a score based on the level of risk. The scores are then combined to give an overall MAS score.

If your asbestos survey report shows a high MAS score, it means that the asbestos-containing material poses a significant risk to occupants. This could be due to a number of factors, such as the material's poor condition or its location in a high-traffic area. In this case, the surveyor may recommend that the material be removed or managed to reduce the risk.
