For a safe living and working environment
Asbestos has been used for many years in a wide variety of building materials. Although the material does not always pose an immediate risk when in good condition, damage or construction work can cause asbestos fibers to be released. This can be harmful to the health of building occupants and employees.
An asbestos survey by Normec provides insight into the presence of asbestos-containing materials within your building. This allows you to identify where potential risks lie and determine what measures are necessary to ensure safety.
Inspection by a qualified specialist
An asbestos survey begins with a thorough inspection of the common areas and other relevant parts of the building. During this inspection, a qualified specialist examines whether any materials that may contain asbestos are present.
If a material is suspected of containing asbestos, additional laboratory testing can be conducted to determine whether it actually contains asbestos. Based on these results, you’ll receive a reliable assessment of the situation.
Clear reporting and practical advice
After the inspection, you'll receive a clear and concise survey report detailing the findings. If asbestos is detected, we'll advise you on the next steps and the measures required to manage the risks. Depending on the situation, we provide support with:
- Documenting survey findings and maintaining records
- Developing an asbestos management programme
- Appointing a designated asbestos manager
- Complying with applicable legal requirements
- Minimising risks to building occupants
