Management Asbestos Survey Barnsley

What will OJ H&S Barnsley do?

Asbestos Management Surveys in Barnsley by OJ H&S will often involve minor intrusive work and some disturbance, however, this will always be kept to a minimum. The extent of intrusion will vary between premises and depend on what is reasonably practicable for individual properties.

Following the completion of your Asbestos Management Survey, you will be provided with an official report detailing the location of any asbestos found within the building.

Asbestos Management Surveys will generally cover routine and simple maintenance work in the building — such as changing light bulbs or moving ceiling tiles. However, where more extensive maintenance or repair work is involved a Pre-Refurbishment Asbestos Survey will be required.

Asbestos Management Surveys Barnsley

• Asbestos only becomes a problem once it’s disturbed and the fibres airborne.
• Any building built prior to the year 2000 can contain asbestos.
• Non-domestic buildings must have an asbestos survey report and register.
• If you own or are responsible for a commercial building and you fail to manage the asbestos correctly you could be prosecuted or imprisoned.

What if Asbestos is found?

OJ H&S Asbestos Management Surveys will include a risk assessment of the condition of any Asbestos Containing Materials found and their ability to release fibres into the air if they are disturbed in some way. This will give you a good initial guide to the priority for managing Asbestos Containing Materials as it will identify the materials that will most readily release airborne fibres if they are disturbed.
