Recruitment
To meet your duty of care to employees and contractors alike you need an effective Asbestos Management Programme. New Level Safety can help you via:

• Identification and risk assessment
• Survey and sampling
• Information delivery
• Full compliance with legislation and approved codes of practice governing work involving
asbestos
• Guidance on appointing a duty holder for buildings and how asbestos should be managed
• Preparation of an asbestos register as part of the management plan

Asbestos Policy Development
The results of a site survey (Type 1, 2, or 3) form part of the asbestos management plan. Our comprehensive site survey reports contain information such as location and risk assessment of each asbestos containing material (ACM), and the appropriate recommendation, priorities and time scales. All reports include digital photographs with the location of identified ACM as well as annotated CAD drawings. This would comprise the asbestos register as part of the management plan for each building surveyed.

Asbestos Surveys - UKAS Accreditation Inspection Body No. 402
MDHS 100, which is published by the HSE, describes the 3 types of survey that can be undertaken. It also details areas of best practice and the types of ACM, which may be found within premises. New Level Safety carry out all three types of building surveys (to MDHS 100 standard). These include:

Type 1
A Type 1 survey involves a visual inspection of all accessible parts of the buildings to record the location and assess the risk from ACM. Suspect materials are not sampled but are recorded as being “presumed” to contain asbestos. The benefit of saving on the analytical costs may be outweighed by the management time required to manage materials which may ultimately prove to be non-asbestos.

Type 2
A Type 2 survey is generally regarded as the level of survey required in order to adequately manage ACM in a cost effective manner. A visual inspection of all accessible parts of the buildings is carried out to record the location and assess the risk from ACM. Suspect materials are sampled in order to confirm or refute the asbestos content.

Type 3
A Type 3 survey is the level of survey required when a building, or part of, is due to be demolished, refurbished or have any building work take place within it. The level of inspection is far more intrusive than with a Type 1 or 2 survey and the techniques used may be far more destructive.

Asbestos Re-Inspection Surveys
Once the initial survey has been conducted and ACM identified the management plan may recommend that the ACM are left in situ possibly because they are in good condition and or are relatively inaccessible and therefore present a low risk. The management plan would then recommend that these ACM are monitored over time with regard to the risk they present. New Level Safety can provide you with re-inspection surveys at regular intervals comprising a visual inspection of the ACM and a risk assessment in order to determine any remedial action required.
