An asbestos survey in Blackburn is necessary as asbestos cannot be seen with the naked eye. Asbestos is a group of six naturally occurring fibrous minerals that are composed of thin fibres. As these microscopic asbestos fibres are so small, an asbestos survey must be done to find out the quantity and location of any asbestos-containing materials. Asbestos fibres, when old or damaged, can become airborne. These fibres, when inhaled by unsuspecting workers in the vicinity, cause terrible and incurable disease like mesothelioma, cancer and asbestosis. When you have an asbestos survey for your building, you are fulfilling your role as a responsible property owner.
Buildings built before the year 2000 are likely to have asbestos-containing materials present in them. In Blackburn, an asbestos survey is necessary to establish the extent of any asbestos present. If the asbestos-containing materials inside your building remain intact, they pose very little risk. However, if you are planning the demolition or renovation of your building, the asbestos fibres can be damaged of disturbed. At ACS, we offer a number of different types of asbestos surveys. If you are planning on any construction or remodelling of your building, we recommend our refurb/demolition survey. We also offer a management survey. This is the standard survey we offer. The survey determines the extent and location of any suspected asbestos-containing materials that are likely to become damaged or disturbed in the near future. It includes during routine maintenance and occupancy.
