1.Asbestos London Surveys  

There is now a responsibility under new Control of Asbestos at Work
regulations which requires you as an employer to identify and manage
asbestos in the workplace. This new Duty to Manage requires you to: 

• Identify the presence of asbestos in buildings  
• Identify all elements of its condition that impact on its potential to cause harm  
• Assess the risk that is presented  
• Take action to safely manage the risk  

We are able to carry out a comprehensive building surveys which will identify the presence of asbestos, its condition and potential for harm. As part of our survey report we will assess the risk and make recommendations enabling the employer to take the appropriate course of action for each situation identified.

2. Asbestos London Registers  

The aim of the legislation is not to secure the removal of all asbestos in buildings. Indeed the Health and Safety Executive view removal as the final and least favoured option in managing asbestos safely .It is therefore necessary to use the information provided in the Asbestos Survey to develop an Asbestos Register. 

The Asbestos Register is available to identify the presence of asbestos to all those working in the building who are likely to come into contact with it and also forms the record template for the ongoing management of the asbestos by means of regular inspection and remedial action where appropriate.
