When is asbestos in the home dangerous?
Asbestos is a danger to health only if it is damaged or disturbed. It is made up of microscopic fibres, and if these are released into the air, and inhaled, they can cause serious diseases. Bolton council website offers a number of useful resources, helping you to recognise when HSE licensed asbestos removal is required.
Asbestos was banned from use in commercial construction in 1999, but there remain 6 million tonnes of the material in 1.5 million buildings constructed prior to that date. Older schools, hospitals and factories are very likely to contain Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs). The danger to health posed by asbestos requires that the risk is carefully managed.
Responsibilities of Commercial Build Owners and Managers
Anyone who manages a workplace that’s located in a building constructed prior to 1999, has a legal responsibility to manage asbestos materials on the premises. An asbestos management survey should be carried out to locate ACMs. Refurbishment or demolition planning is subject to a mandatory R&D asbestos survey; any asbestos discovered will need to be removed prior to demolition or works commencing.
We offer the following Asbestos Surveys to our residential and commercial clients:
- Asbestos Management Survey. This non-intrusive survey locates, so far as is practicable, the presence of any Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs) that could be disturbed or damaged as a result of day-to-day activities. Any disturbed or damaged asbestos located will be analysed at a UKAS accredited laboratory and a subsequent report made available.
- Refurbishment and Demolition Survey. An R&D survey is mandatory prior to any refurbishment or demolition work carried out on properties built prior to 1999. This survey is intrusive and will involve destructive inspection so that all areas can be accessed. If any asbestos is discovered in the course of the survey, it will need to be removed professionally before work can commence.
