Asbestos The New Surveying Guide

The HSE has reviewed its MDHS 100 guidance on asbestos surveying

, which describes Type 1, 2 and 3 surveys and this document was replaced in January with Managing Asbestos in Premises, the Survey Guide, which will describe management surveys and refurbishment / demolition sur-veys.

There is a need to educate about the danger asbestos presents. Research shows that tradesmen in particular think that asbestos is a historical problem and they are not at risk.

Many properties still contain asbestos, and there will be an increasing requirement for the more invasive refurbishment / demolition surveys which are particularly demanding.

Managing Asbestos in Premises, the Survey Guide places a far greater emphasis on competency and is used internationally as a guide to survey premises for the presence of asbestos.

Ohss is providing training and seminars on aimed at building surveyors, architects, engineers, building maintenance personnel, asbestos accredited inspection bodies and clients who want to find out more about the duty to manage asbestos in the workplace.
