What is an asbestos risk assessment?
Asbestos risk assessments are vital in the identification and evaluation of the risks posed by asbestos containing materials (ACMs) on a premises. These assessments are crucial before any work, such as Asbestos Removal, is undertaken to ensure that proper precautions are in place to prevent exposure. Building owners and management can conduct a meticulous risk assessment to make informed decisions about managing and mitigating asbestos-related hazards.
What does an asbestos risk assessment include?
Survey & Analysis
We will gather information provided by the property owner or manager such as previous history of the property, any floor plans or past surveys which may have been conducted. We then discuss the best course of action to take such as having a an Asbestos Survey or Asbestos Sampling & Testing to determine the presence, type, and condition of asbestos.
Hazard & Risk Identification
Using the information gathered, we will identify all possible hazards associated with asbestos exposure including the expected level of exposure to asbestos fibres. This will help us to determine appropriate control measures.
Control Measures
Based on our assessment, we will provide recommendations for asbestos control such as ventilation, to minimise asbestos exposure. We can also complete Asbestos Removal and Asbestos Collection & Disposal for your peace of mind.
Compliance
Our risk assessments will give you confidence that your premises are a safer place, provide you with your mandatory documentation and also ensure that you comply with COSHH Law and HSE Guidelines for when you are audited by them.

Asbestos FAQs
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Asbestos was only fully banned from use in 1999, so if your property was built or refurbished before then, there is a possibility that asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) could be present. Any work using imported materials or refurbishments after 1999 could also contain ACMs.
What happens during an asbestos survey?
We will inspect and sample suspect materials. The samples are then analysed to confirm the presence of asbestos. The location, condition and extent of all Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs) and suspected asbestos containing materials identified during the asbestos survey are recorded in the form of an Asbestos Register.
What should I do if asbestos is found?
If asbestos is found on your premises, we can provide you with tailored guidance on the next steps to take. Contact us today for more information.
Are asbestos surveys a legal requirement?
Yes, asbestos surveys are a legal requirement for non-domestic properties and any premises undergoing refurbishment or demolition.
