Asbestos Surveying in a pandemic

To survey or not to survey. That is a question we get asked all the time.

As an essential service required for the management of hazardous materials in buildings, asbestos surveys are still required under a pandemic scenario. Obviously we have to follow all necessary guidelines set down by the government and undertake the appropriate assessments and use of PPE etc. 

However, asbestos hasn't got any safer in the pandemic (indeed there is a debate that failure to continue to manage asbestos would lead to greater risk from potential damage or deterioration of asbestos containing materials), so the best solution is to ensure that management policies have taken account of COVID issues and undertake re-inspections and remedial works where required.

Alverprise of course provides these services (survey, consultancy and management) as we have done since inception, and with over 32 years of experience in the industry and publication of HSE best practice in the Director, can claim to assist with value added solutions to help any size of business or domestic situation.
