Talking about the asbestos survey, you must know about it in detail. It is a survey which is necessary to be conducted in the construction sites and also at the occupied buildings. The base for the survey is that any structure or building which was built before 2000 must be going through the asbestos survey. The main reason for conducting the survey is its best house. Asbestos is very deadly. It is the thing which is found in form of fibres at building structures or where construction work is going on.
Once it has gone into your body, it can be very deadly and maybe the reason for cancer. It slowly starts consuming your body through your lungs and can lead to death. As asbestos has been the reason for plenty of deaths in the UK, it is among the top five health risks at work. There are a lot of people being dead because of it on the construction work and therefore if you are working in such place where construction is going on or repairing work is carried on it is necessary for you to know about asbestos.
Know about the types
The Asbestos survey is divided into two different types. Asbestos is banned in the UK, but still, there are some buildings in places there, you can find it in the fibre form. In the forthcoming paragraphs, we are going to describe the two types of asbestos survey with a brief description of each.
- Management as best to survey
It is the type of service which is very simple and conducted as an overview. In this survey, the building or the place or the Materials containing asbestos are examined by the team of survey. The materials are checked if there is any risk of fivers being released from them. It is no deep-going in the research but it in walls only minimal sampling and some minor intrusive work. In some cases, the Asbestos survey is done by presumption but not by taking samples.
- Refurbishment and demolition asbestos survey
During the refurbishment and construction work, when the asbestos-containing materials are disturbed, the release fibre which can be taken in by you along with the breath. Asbestos can cause fatal diseases and therefore, service needed to be done before doing such things. Refurbishment and demolition survey is highly required when there is high chances of asbestos material is being disturbed on the construction sites.
This survey is very intrusive, and all the things and materials which may lead to the release of asbestos fibre are thoroughly examined after taking their samples. After the survey, adequate measures are necessary to be taken to stop the spread of these fibres as these can be deadly.
The final verdict
In the above-given paragraph, we have described the two different types of asbestos survey that you may get conducted at the building which you are responsible for. You must know thoroughly about the Asbestos survey as it can be very deadly if not taken care.
