Type 1 Asbestos Surveys - Location
and Assessment (presumptive survey)
For a type 1 asbestos survey, the
surveyor will locate and assess all
suspect asbestos-containing materials
(ACM's) in your builidng. No samples
will be taken during this type of survey
as this work is deffered to a later date,
e.g. prior to demolition or major
refurbishment.
All areas will be accessed and
inspected where reasonably possible, or if
not accessible they are presumed or
strongly presumed to contain
asbestos.
All materials that are presumed to
contain asbestos are then treated as asbestos,
even if they are thought not to be. An
assessment is made of all suspected
materials to determine its overall risk
potential.
The survey will comply with all
current regulations, and determine if
there is need for a further survey, which
involves sampling.
If you believe you need a type 1 asbestos survey for your building but
aren't sure, call us and we can
quickly let you know if it is necessary.
