Asbestos Management Survey
An asbestos management survey is the basic level survey and forms the basis of your ongoing asbestos management plan. Its purpose is to locate, as far as reasonably practicable, the presence and extent of any suspect ACMs in the building which could be damaged or disturbed during normal occupancy, including foreseeable maintenance and installation, and to assess their condition.
Asbestos Material Risk Assessment
Asbestos management surveys will often involve minor intrusive work and some disturbance. The extent of intrusion will vary between premises and depend on what is reasonably practicable for individual properties.
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 is known as a material assessment, and will give you a good initial guide to the priority for managing ACMs as it will identify the materials which will most readily release airborne fibres if they are disturbed.
Asbestos Sampling
The survey should involve sampling and analysis to confirm the presence or absence of ACMs.
Any asbestos surveyor or asbestos surveying company offering a complete non sampling survey should be approached with extreme caution as there is no justification for this other than for them to avoid paying for laboratory analysis and will render the survey report useless as it will rely solely on presumption rather than proven fact.
Presumed Asbestos Containing Materials
There are instances where a management survey may involve presuming the presence or absence of asbestos, for example where access for sampling purposes presents a significant threat to the safety of a surveyor for example in confined spaces and at height.
A management survey can be completed using a combination of sampling ACMs and presuming ACMs. Any materials presumed to contain asbestos must also have their condition assessed (i.e. a material assessment).
