INNOX BLOG: Planning a commercial refurbishment? Before you start knocking down walls or ripping up floors, it's crucial to address the potential presence of asbestos. In the UK, any building constructed before the year 2000 could contain asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). Failing to identify and manage these materials properly can put your project, your workers, and even future occupants at risk.

Asbestos Surveys for Commercial Refurbishments: Ensuring Compliance and Safety

16th October 2024

Planning a commercial refurbishment? Before you start knocking down walls or ripping up floors, it's crucial to address the potential presence of asbestos. In the UK, any building constructed before the year 2000 could contain asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). Failing to identify and manage these materials properly can put your project, your workers, and even future occupants at risk.

‍

Why Asbestos Surveys are Essential for Refurbishments

Asbestos surveys are a legal requirement for any commercial refurbishment project. They provide a comprehensive assessment of the location, type, and condition of any ACMs within your building. This information is vital for:

Protecting Workers: Knowing where asbestos is located allows you to take necessary precautions to prevent exposure during the refurbishment process.
Complying with Regulations: UK law mandates specific procedures for handling and removing asbestos. A survey ensures you meet these requirements.
Avoiding Costly Delays: Unexpected asbestos discoveries can bring your project to a standstill, leading to budget overruns and missed deadlines.
Ensuring Long-Term Safety: A thorough survey helps protect the health of anyone who occupies the building after the refurbishment is complete.
