Asbestos Services   Stroma is adding another service to our already extensive offering. We can now deliver all necessary services pertaining to the identification, monitoring and management of asbestos and can provide specific, yet comprehensive solutions for all requirements.   The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006 stipulate that the duty holder for any non-domestic property must identify, monitor and manage asbestos on their premises.   Section 1 of regulation 4 in The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006 defines the duty-holder as: “every person who has, by virtue of a contract or tenancy, an obligation of any extent in relation to the maintenance or repair of non-domestic premises or any means of access thereto or egress there from.”   Under this regulation, you are likely to be the duty-holder if you own, manage or rent the premises. The regulations specify that the duty holder is obligated to: Ascertain - and maintain a written record of - the location of asbestos on the premises Assess and document the risk posed by the ACMs (Asbestos-Containing Material) on the premises Ensure that the relevant information is available to anyone who requires it (for example, the emergency services) Generate and implement an asbestos management plan Carry out inspections of all ACMs on the premises – at least annually – and keep a written record. (For more information, visit http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si2006/20062739.htm)   Stroma can provide a range of services designed to help duty holders comply with the regulations outlined above. We provide surveying, training and management plans to suit all requirements associated with these policies.   For more information or a quote please contact us on 0845 621 11 11, email asbestos@stroma.com.       Asbestos Surveying Services   We offer two survey options: Type 2 sampling surveys followed by a comprehensive report which includes action plans and CAD-generated plans. Once the survey has been completed, Stroma is able to provide long term monitoring and management of any asbestos found. Type 3 surveys which are required prior to any refurbishment or demolition works. A type 3 survey will identify asbestos which can not be detected in a standard type 2 survey. All our surveys are conducted in accordance with MDHS 100 and quality standard ISO17020.   The action plan included in the survey report includes a concise yet detailed action plan which is easy to implement. It will also advise on the best possible approach for your asbestos management plan.   Asbestos Management Plan   Once identified, it is inevitable that you will have to take action either to make the asbestos safe or to ensure that it remains so.
