What is Asbestos Survey?

An asbestos survey identifies asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in non-domestic premises and common parts of leasehold residential blocks. The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 require dutyholders to manage asbestos by surveying, recording and assessing risk. Management surveys cover routine occupation; refurbishment/demolition surveys are intrusive and required before works. Surveyors should be UKAS-accredited.
