Management Surveys      Replaces Type 1 & Type 2 Surveys. The purpose of the survey is to help manage asbestos in the dutyholder’s premises. The survey has to provide sufficient information for an asbestos register and plan to be prepared, a suitable risk assessment to be carried out and a written plan to manage the risks to be produced.

We can assist you with your Risk Assessment and Management of Asbestos Containing Materials found throughout the site. Successful management of Asbestos Containing Materials is based on the effective identification, inspection and the implementation of an effective management programme. Working alongside your own staff, we can review your existing management plan and risk assessment and update your records with any noted deterioration, or further asbestos which has been revealed since the original survey. Nass Asbestos Surveyors undertake commercial and domestic asbestos surveys throughout the UK. We are always happy to provide preliminary advice without charge or obligation. Please feel free to contact us to discuss your needs further Nass Asbestos Surveyors operate throughout the UK and provides a range of Asbestos Management services for both commercial and domestic clients. Our surveyors are all members of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and are fully certified and experienced, allowing them to carry out both Management Surveys and Refurbishment and Demolition Surveys. All our surveys and sampling techniques for suspect Asbestos Containing Materials are carried out in accordance with the requirements of the Health and Safety Executive guidance document ‘HSG264’ and all samples obtained are sent to an independent, accredited laboratory for analysis. For commercial clients we provide a full range of Asbestos Management services, from a free initial discussion through to a fully managed system. We also offer asbestos awareness training courses. So, if you are initially unsure what service you may require then please do contact us as we are always happy to provide preliminary advice without charge or obligation. At Nass, we have absolutely no links with any removal companies whatsoever. This policy ensures that we will always remain truly independent in the advice we give. When recommending removal, we will direct the client to asbestos removal companies local to them and approved by the Asbestos Removal Contractors Association (arca.org.uk). There is a geographical list of such companies on the ARCA website On completion of your survey, you will receive a bound, full colour report which will include digital pictures and site plans. The report will list all areas suspected of containing asbestos and independent laboratory certificates of all samples obtained by our surveyors. An initial risk assessment will be made, this will be based on the results and using a scoring system in line with the requirements of HSG264. Your report can be used as a site register for Asbestos Containing Materials and must be made available to those who are likely to disturb the asbestos during proposed works etc. Welcome to Nass Asbestos Surveyors Our Services Surveys Reports Management Systems Nass Asbestos Surveyors: 44 St Mary's Road Llandudno Conwy North Wales LL30 2UE Tel: 07786 150288 kevin.nass@zen.co.uk />

Management Survey

A management survey is the standard survey and it is used for the purposes of managing asbestos within properties. Its purpose is to locate, as far as reasonably practicable, the presence and extent of any suspect ‘asbestos-containing materials’ (ACM’s) in the building, which could be damaged or disturbed during normal occupancy, including foreseeable maintenance and installation, and to assess their condition. Management surveys will often involve minor intrusive work and some disturbance. The extent of intrusion will vary and will depend on what is reasonably practicable for individual properties (i.e. it will depend on factors such as the type of building, the nature of construction, accessibility etc). The survey can be based on presuming the presence or absence of asbestos. However, it will usually (but not always) involve sampling and analysis to confirm the presence or absence of ACMs. A management survey should include an assessment of the condition of the various ACMs and their ability to release fibres into the air if they are disturbed in some way. This ‘material assessment’ will give a good initial guide to the priority for managing ACMs as it will identify the materials that will most readily release airborne fibres if they are disturbed. A management survey can be completed using a combination of sampling ACMs and presuming ACMs or, indeed, just presuming. Any materials presumed to contain asbestos must also have their condition assessed (ie a material assessment).

Refurbishment and Demolition Surveys

A refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before any refurbishment or demolition work is carried out. This type of survey is used to locate and describe, as far as reasonably practicable, all ACMs in the area where the refurbishment work will take place or in the whole building if demolition is planned. The survey will be fully intrusive and involve destructive inspection, as necessary, to gain access to all areas, including those that may be difficult to reach. A refurbishment and demolition survey may also be required in other circumstances, e.g. when more intrusive maintenance and repair work will be carried out or for plant removal or dismantling. There is a specific requirement in CAR 2006 (regulation 7) for all ACMs to be removed as far as reasonably practicable before major refurbishment or final demolition. Removing ACMs is also appropriate in other smaller refurbishment situations which involve structural or layout changes to buildings (e.g. removal of partitions, walls, units etc). In this type of survey, where the asbestos is identified so that it can be removed the survey does not normally assess the condition of the asbestos, other than to indicate areas of damage or where additional asbestos debris may be present. However, where the asbestos removal may not take place for some time, the ACMs’ condition will need to be assessed and the materials managed. Refurbishment and demolition surveys should only be conducted in unoccupied areas to minimise risks to the public or employees on the premises.
