Redhills can re-inspect any previously surveyed property and update the information, whether held electronically or as a hard copy. We will discuss your requirements and identify the frequency of visits and checks with you. Where necessary, we can handle discussions with the HSE on your behalf.
Why re-inspect asbestos?
The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006 requires that the condition of asbestos-based products needs to be inspected regularly and records updated accordingly. The frequency of the asbestos inspection regime must not exceed 12 months but is dictated by the risk that the asbestos poses. The risk is assessed by the type, extent, condition and location of the asbestos.
Over time, asbestos-based products can degenerate, weather or be accidentally damaged thereby causing the risks associated with the material to change substantially. Additionally, the approved code of practice requires the asbestos management plan to be reviewed every six months. We can advise on or supply efficient methods for complying with this requirement.
Flexible re-inspections
Redhills can re-inspect any previously surveyed property and update the information, whether held electronically or as a hard copy. This service can be offered over any period of time including a one, three, five or ten year period. The longer term options provide cost certainty and compliant information that protect your investment in the initial survey.
Additionally, we incorporate the review of your asbestos management plan, which HSE guidance states must be undertaken every six months. We provide procedures and checks to ensure this is not an overly costly or time-consuming task. We recommend re-inspections are carried out every 6-12 months.
