The
ultimate aim of a survey is to alert the Duty Holder
of the presence of asbestos containing materials within
their properties. There are 3 types of asbestos surveys
which are outlined in the HSE publication 'MDHS 100
- Surveying, sampling and assessment of asbestos containing
materials' .
- Type
1 - Walkthrough Survey
- Type
2 - Sampling Survey
- Type
3 - Pre-Demolition/Refurbishment survey
In
all types of survey an Asbestos Register is produced
incorporating plans, observation points, UKAS Accredited
Certificate of Bulk Analysis (where samples have been
taken - Type 2 and Type 3 only), photographs and recommendations.
A
UKAS Accredited Laboratory MUST undertake analysis of
all samples.
All
of our building surveyors hold the statutory Proficiency
Certificate in Building Surveys and Bulk Sampling for
Asbestos, P402 qualification. All data is collected
using the latest Pocket PC technology ensuring that
the data is transferred from site via Bluetooth technology
direct to our servers for transfer into our databases,
to ensure the client receives a fast turnaround of results/report.
The use of handheld technology also ensures data accuracy
and minimises human error.
The
client report can be presented in many formats e.g.
bound hard copy, electronic pdf, excel spreadsheet,
or full working database, MIS Limited also have their
own IT Department so that we can offer bespoke Database
Design and implementation to suit the requirements of
all of individual clients. See Asbestos
