The Control of Asbestos at Work Regulations places a number of legal requirements on employers or the duty holder by virtue of a contract or tenancy. To meet these requirements Interserve offers a comprehensive service for the identification, recording and reporting of asbestos occurrences in the workplace.

A range of surveys can be undertaken in accordance with Methods for Determining Hazardous Substances (MDHS) 100 to establish the type, level and condition of asbestos.

• Type 1 - Presumptive Visual Survey to identify likely sources of asbestos containing material in the premises whilst minimising unnecessary sampling

• Type 2 - Sampling Survey, a visual inspection together with representative samples of potential asbestos containing material being gathered and analysed, with resultant findings being assessed

• Type 3 - Destructive Intrusive Survey, involving extensive sampling, a legal requirement prior to any major refurbishment or demolition.

Surveys are carried out across the country by directly employed, highly trained surveyors who hold a minimum qualification of BIOH 402. Samples taken are analysed by approved independent UKAS accredited companies.
