Our Asbestos Consultancy services encompass the entire lifecycle of an asbestos-related project, ensuring every stage is handled with the utmost care and attention to detail. Here’s how we manage risk throughout:
Asbestos Risk Assessment
Our team performs a thorough risk assessment of the site, identifying potential Asbestos-Containing Materials (ACMs) and evaluating their condition. By assessing the risks of exposure, we can determine the appropriate course of action to mitigate hazards, ensuring that the site remains safe for workers and visitors.
Site Surveys
We carry out both Management Asbestos Surveys (MAS) and Refurbishment and Demolition Asbestos Surveys (RDAS). The MAS helps identify any ACMs present in a building and assess their current condition to determine the need for remediation. The RDAS focuses on areas of the site that will undergo refurbishment or demolition, providing detailed information on ACMs that could be disturbed during construction work.
Asbestos Sample Testing
To confirm the presence of asbestos, our team collects samples from suspect materials and sends them to accredited laboratories that are members of the AIMS (Asbestos in Materials Scheme). Accurate testing ensures the right materials are managed correctly and safely.
Asbestos Removal Project Management
After assessing the risk and identifying ACMs, we manage the removal process by appointing qualified Asbestos Removal Contractors. We supervise the execution of the removal project, ensuring the contractors follow best practices, work safely, and meet regulatory requirements. We also ensure that all disposal of asbestos waste is handled in line with environmental guidelines.
Air Monitoring & Clearance Testing
To ensure the environment remains safe during and after asbestos removal, we perform air monitoring. Airborne asbestos fibres are a significant risk, so we conduct real-time tests to detect fibres in the air. We also monitor containment measures during removal works to ensure no contamination occurs. Once the remediation work is complete, we perform clearance testing to certify the area is safe for reoccupation.
Asbestos Awareness Training
We provide tailored asbestos awareness training for your staff and contractors, ensuring that all individuals working on or near asbestos are aware of the risks, safe handling procedures, and emergency measures. Our training meets the highest industry standards and regulatory requirements, ensuring compliance and safety at every stage of the project.
