What can we do to help?
Regulation 4 "Duty to Manage" requires the duty holder to find out whether your property contain asbestos, assess the risk, and develop a plan to manage that risk and act on it. This can only be achieved by undertaking an asbestos survey.
Failure to comply could result in prosecution by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Our asbestos survey services will identify and provide clients with recommendations for the suitable management of any Asbestos containing materials.
