What is an Asbestos Survey?
An asbestos survey is a thorough inspection of a property to identify the presence, type, and condition of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). The survey is typically conducted by an accredited asbestos surveyor who will assess the risk posed by the ACMs and provide recommendations for management or removal.
How Long is an Asbestos Survey Valid?
The validity of an asbestos survey depends on several factors, including the type of survey, the condition of the property, and the regulations in place. In the UK, asbestos surveys are typically valid for 12 months from the date of the survey. However, this can vary depending on the specific circumstances.
Types of Asbestos Surveys
There are two main types of asbestos surveys: Management Surveys and Demolition/Refurbishment Surveys.
- Management Surveys are designed to locate ACMs in a building that are likely to be disturbed during normal occupancy, including maintenance and repair work. These surveys are typically valid for 12 months.
- Demolition/Refurbishment Surveys are more intrusive and are designed to locate all ACMs in a building that are likely to be disturbed during demolition or refurbishment work. These surveys are typically valid for 6 months.
Regularly Reviewing and Updating Asbestos Surveys
It is essential to regularly review and update asbestos surveys to ensure that the information remains accurate and up-to-date. This is particularly important if the property has undergone significant changes or if new ACMs have been identified.
Compliance with Regulations
Asbestos surveys are a legal requirement for all non-domestic properties in the UK, including commercial and industrial buildings. The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 requires property owners and managers to identify and manage ACMs in their properties.
