ASBESTOS REGISTERS AND DOCUMENTATION

Since the 21st May 2004, the Health & Safety Executive require all non-domestic premises to hold a current (and in date) Asbestos Register held on site. The HSE can inspect your company premises at any time and your companies health & safety policy should now include an Asbestos Register.

The location, condition and extent of all asbestos containing materials (ACM’s) and suspected materials identified during the asbestos survey are recorded in the form of an Asbestos Register. This document is provided with the full survey report as part of Cube’s service.

THE FOLLOWING ARE RECORDED IN THE ASBESTOS REGISTER:
  • Location
  • The information is organised in a logical way according to the layout of the site and ACM’s and non ACM’s are clearly identified using red and green symbols respectively.
  • Extent or Amount
    An approximate extent of the material is given in either square or linear metres.
  • Product Type (as a building component)
    The most appropriate description of the material as a building component.
  • Asbestos Type (and content)
    The types of asbestos fibres identified.
  • Condition
    The extent of damage or deterioration caused to the material noted at the time of the survey.
  • Surface Treatment
  • An indication of the degree of protection to the surface of the material. Sealants may be applied in liquid form (e.g. paint, proprietary encapsulate) or rigid.
  • Material Assessment
    HSG264 makes reference to a numerical algorithm score, which is shown against records of identified, suspected or presumed asbestos occurrences; this is calculated from scores assigned to the three main parameters which determine potential fibre release (material type, condition and surface treatment) and its potential to cause harm (asbestos type).
  • Accessibility
    An indication as to how accessible the material is in relation to likelihood of future damage.
  • Comments
    An appropriate comment is provided for each recorded asbestos occurrence.
  • Recommendations
    For each identified location of ACM we will provide a recommendation on further action based on our interpretation of legislation and best practice prevailing at the time of the survey together with our observations.

Asbestos registers are available in electronic or hard copy format.

Opinions and recommendations based upon priority risk assessment are outside the scope of our UKAS accreditation.
