Asbestos Consultancy

“With the introduction of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012) comes many more responsibilities for trades companies and anyone responsible for building works and maintenance.

It is now a legal requirement that nearly all works with asbestos, and this includes asbestos floor tile removal, asbestos cement removal, textured coating (Artex) removal and many more asbestos containing materials (ACM’s), once thought to be very low risk, now have to be notified to the local enforcing authority or Health and Safety Executive (HSE).

This means that prior to any work a new document (https://extranet.hse.gov.uk/lfserver/external/asbnnlw1 ) has to be completed and sent through before the work commences. You are required to state the nature of your works and who is doing it and the controls you are to implement. On top of this you are legally required to make sure any person carrying out this work has more than simple asbestos awareness and has specific training in the removal of Notifiable Non Licensable Work (NNLW). These records along with and asbestos medical and a complete list of any work carried out on asbestos, the type of asbestos and how it was removed (a full method statement), needs to be retained on file for at least 40 years.

At A.D. Scott’s – all our staff carry this training as standard, we carry appropriate insurances, waste licenses and have systems in place to log all details. If you would like any free advice or a quote for any works you require carrying out then please contact us on the following numbers 0800 121 47 43 (free from most landlines) or 01207 438 313 (free from most mobiles as part of inclusive minutes)”

If any given substance is known to contain asbestos, or if it is assumed that the substance contains asbestos then it is referred to as an ACM (Asbestos Containing Material).

The main reason for carrying our asbestos surveys is to establish a materials assessment. In other words:

• To seek out Asbestos Containing Materiels and to make a note of where it is situated, what exactly it is, and how much of it we are dealing with.
• To capture information on how accessible the asbestos containing material is, what condition it is in, as well as any information on the treatment of the surface.
• To capture the information on the type of asbestos which is done by either sampling or by presuming.
