Management Survey (the old type 2) - In this survey a representative number of samples are taken of any suspect materials and analysed in a laboratory, producing a far more accurate report. While this survey takes longer and is more expensive to produce you only end up managing positive asbestos material and it is invariably a cheaper situation The management survey is the most widely used to comply with regulations. Major refurbishment / Demoilition survey (the old type 3) - This survey is normally used prior to major refurbishment or demolition and is required to locate all asbestos within a building and therefore a more destructive inspection is carried out.
Asbestos is the biggest occupational killer in the UK and appears in over 3000 different building products used in our homes, offices, factories and schools. The population most at risk from contracting Asbestos related diseases are building maintenance and repair workers who are unknowingly disturbing asbestos containing materials. Legislation designed to protect these workers has been in place since May 2004. If you are responsible for maintaining any type of property with the exception of a domestic house with no common shared areas, you must manage the asbestos within it.
