Asbestos survey insurance

So you've found the idea company to provide your asbestos management survey, and the price looks too good to be true.  You know what, it could well be.

Asbestos survey companies come in all shapes and sizes, from the mega corporations offering asbestos consultancy as part of an overall package of environmental solutions ranging from ground investigation to legionella controls and fire risk assessments, through to the one man bands (the traditional 'man and a van' operation) who probably used to work within a larger company and now want to work for themselves.  In between these are the smaller consultancies with maybe a dozen employees who offer either just an asbestos consultancy service or a small environmental business. Then of course there are the asbestos removal companies who offer asbestos management and consultancy to entice customers into their asbestos remedial services through cheap or free inspections.

Of course these do offer totally different solutions and when Alverprise' director used to run large consultancies, we used to work for the larger organisations such as BP Oil, London Boroughs and local councils and large NHS trusts to name but a few. The one man bands cannot provide all the assurances and accreditations required for these types of organisations and certainly cannot supply the resources needed by said businesses. 

However there is one area where all organisations supplying asbestos surveys should be the same, and that is in having suitable and sufficient insurances against risks posed by their operations. Needless to say, the levels provided by the smaller operations will be less than the larger mega corporations, so you should assess your requirements before appointing the consultant.  Just check the organisation has the levels of Professional Indemnity you need necessary as well as Employers and Public Liability Insurance which all companies should maintain on a rolling and annual basis.

So again we ask the question, does your company provide what you want and need for your asbestos survey? If you require help assessing said organisation, just contact us for unbiased advice! Back To List
