Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon

As a property owner or manager in Devon, it's essential to understand your responsibilities when it comes to asbestos surveys. The presence of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in your building can pose a significant risk to the health and safety of occupants, visitors, and maintenance workers. In this article, we'll explore who's responsible for conducting an asbestos survey in Devon and what you need to know to manage asbestos in your property.

Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, the duty to manage asbestos falls on the person or organisation responsible for maintaining or repairing a non-domestic property. This includes property owners, landlords, and managers. The duty holder is required to identify and manage any ACMs in the building to prevent exposure to asbestos fibres. A thorough asbestos survey is essential to fulfilling this duty.

An asbestos survey should only be conducted by a competent and licensed asbestos surveyor. In Devon, you can hire a professional asbestos surveyor who has the necessary qualifications, training, and experience to identify and assess ACMs in your property. At 1st Choice Asbestos, our team of expert surveyors can provide you with a comprehensive asbestos survey that meets the requirements of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

An asbestos survey typically involves a visual inspection of the building to identify any ACMs. The surveyor will take samples of suspected ACMs for laboratory analysis to confirm the presence of asbestos. The survey will also assess the condition and extent of any ACMs, as well as the risks associated with them. The surveyor will provide a detailed report outlining the findings and recommendations for managing or removing the ACMs.

If your asbestos survey reveals the presence of ACMs in your property, you'll need to develop a plan to manage or remove them. This may involve sealing or encapsulating the ACMs, or removing them entirely. At 1st Choice Asbestos, we can provide you with expert advice and guidance on managing asbestos in your property. Our team can also undertake asbestos removal and disposal in a safe and environmentally friendly manner.
