There are many reasons why you may have to provide an Asbestos Management Survey. Some of the common requests made to DMC Survey Services are listed below:
- You may have a requirement due to the age of your building such as if your building is constructed prior to the outright prohibition of asbestos in the UK in 1999.
- You may be going through an external quality audit and auditors have requested you provide this to comply with strict quality standards or has been flagged up as a requirement to attain quality / Health and Safety compliance.
- You may be asked by a local Environmental Health Officer from your local council or Local Authority as part of health and safety compliances if you occupy commercial or industrial premises.
- You are moving to new premises and it has been raised as a requirement of your sale of the old premises or as a requirement by the vendor of the proposed purchase building.
- An insurance company has asked you to provide an Asbestos Management Survey to show any asbestos materials which could have an implication on re-build valuations or protect their interests when providing you with buildings insurance.
- It is standard practice for loss adjusters to request information on asbestos as part of re-instatement works to a building after fire or flood damage to protect all parties involved. These would take the form of Refurbishment / Demolition Surveys.
